Throw up the banners! Bring out the pride parade! Time to celebrate, uh, gay Mets guy!
Captain America, An Ally, tells the gay guy that things are hard, but he’s doing good work getting himself out there, and then the scene ends. Secondly, yep, you heard that right, this guy who loves the Mets (very masc) is gay, and what’s more, he’s the first openly gay character in a Marvel superhero movie. First of all, that’s very relatable it happens to me on dates all the time. Captain America is at a support group for people trying to cope after The Snap, and some ordinary guy starts talking about his date with another guy, which did not go well because they both started crying. Somewhere in the first act of Avengers: Endgame - when the movie’s acting like a riff on The Leftovers, but before it becomes a time-travel cousin of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene that’s pretty groundbreaking. Light spoilers ahead for Avengers: Endgame.
Captain America, thank you for being an ally.
