Actress Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on TV for three seasons during the 70s, said the lasso-wielding superhero is a “queer” and “trans” icon, and that anyone who disagrees with her isn’t paying attention.
Lynda Carter laid out her argument in a tweet Wednesday, the first day of Gay Pride month.
“I didn’t write Wonder Woman, but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you’re not paying attention,” Carter wrote.
“Every time someone comes up to me and says that WW helped them while they were closeted, it reminds me how special the role is.”
