Before we start, I just want to point out that I don't know Jesus since I don't read the comics and have watched like, 2 seasons of the tv show ages ago. What I know about him is from ANF, which is not much at all. Now, that being said, unless I completely suck at human interaction it is a possibility is Jesus actually flirting with Javi if you choose the "I like you, Jesus. What a breath of fresh air that was.
Ever since Tom Payne made his The Walking Dead debut a year ago as fan-favorite Jesus, speculation has brewed over how much of his persona from the comic books would be retained — and specifically, whether his sexuality would remain the same. Payne said last year that he saw no reason why his on-screen Jesus wouldn't be gay, as he is in the comics, and in tonight's episode "The Other Side," he officially became the show's third major gay character. Between the fact that Jesus is an elusive and taciturn guy to begin with, and the fact that these characters are living in fear of a fascist dictator during a zombie apocalypse, it's no surprise that it took a while for the subject to come up. But Jesus knows who he is — he's one of the more self-possessed characters in the cast — and there is no dramatic "coming out" moment here, during a moment of bonding between Jesus and Maggie.
The right people picked up on it; they did recognize it. He was such a badass character. He says he had been waiting a long time for Jesus to participate more on the show but it never happened. In the background, I was training every single week.
It has managed to upset the racists and the conservatives by showing a man-on-man kiss and an interracial relationship. Whilst the show has not explicitly stated that the character is gay, readers of the comic books know this to be the case. The trailer for the 11 th episode of season 6 shows new addition Jesus — a fully bearded, long-haired man who shows a resemblance to the religious figure. While the television series has followed the comic book material closely, it has made some significant changes to the original texts.
