Good guess...The Rawhide Kid?
Those two guesses, wiccan and hulkling are the only openly gay characters i know of, so i'm tapped out.Good guess...
Rawhide Kid debuted in March 1955 but was written as gay in 2003 and 2010

Sadly the character I'm thinking of may be a bit obscure and was a supporting character of one of the bigger indie books of the 1980's
Good enough memory Knee, yes I posted elsewhere, Mike Grell's "Jon Sable, Freelance" from First ComicsI know this because you posted about it somewhere else Stick, but I can't remember and I don't want to cheat by Googling. I feel like the character was from like Nexus or Badger or Jon Sable or something like that.
Ugh on old man memory
Vaguely recall it. Something like Tales of the Black Freighter
Guessing this is a reference to Lucas but I don't know the answer without googlingHint: the electrical system was designed by "the prince of darkness"
