‘Fear the Walking Dead’ reveals first queer male main traits in franchise

In a city known for its happy hour culture, summer can be an even better time to take advantage of post-work drink and eat deals. Interns are in town, summer Fridays are in full swing, and patios and rooftops are aplenty. Here are a few prime, non-comprehensive spots for an afternoon deal with besties, colleagues, and new connections. 

Alfreda. Dupont’s Alfreda, a tribute to the chef’s grandmother, offers relaxed pizza and traditional Italian eats. The happy hour runs Monday-Friday 4-6 p.m., featuring $8 spritzes and BOGO pizzas. Few do spritzes like the Italians, and Alfreda leans in on five kinds plus one N/A spritz; our go-to is the rose and mezcal with grapefruit or the locally made Don Ciccio limoncello spritz with basil.

Lyle’s. Especially leaning into the spritz side of summer is at Lyle’s, fully embracing the fizzy ephemera of the season with the Summer of Spritz. The Dupont Circle hotel restaurant imagines cocktails from France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Spritzes film limoncello and vinho verde. For those that hit Lyle’s every week during the spritz special—and get

While Fear the Walking Dead is not on the identical level of business as The Walking Dead as far as I’m concerned, the spin-off did get some gender non-conforming representation points in this week’s episode.

Episode four of Fear the Walking Dead season two titled “Blood in the Streets” revealed Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) as gay. Even though I haven’t been watching Fear the Walking Dead (it just isn’t interesting enough for me) I checked out “Blood in the Streets” to see how Victor’s sexuality was handled.

The moment Victor mutual the screen with his future-lover-to-be, Thomas Abigail (Dougray Scott), the chemistry between them was clear. I was actually expecting them to start making out after a not many seconds together. However, that didn’t unfold , and Victor stole Thomas’ money because he went bankrupt after Hurricane Katrina. They ended up becoming a couple later on but their first meeting was very interesting.

The flashback helped build viewers understand that even though Victor’s a calculating and logical person, he isn’t evil. He still has a sense of respect and honor. The flashback also explained Victor’s motivation to get back to Mexico. He left

Colman Domingo, Undaunted


Looking for a dystopian leader you can barely trust to undertake anything but survive? Spot Domingo’s Victor Strand on AMC’s zombie-land horror Fear the Walking Dead (2015–2023), which he also occasionally directs. Need a freezing splash of truth? In his Emmy-winning guest role on Euphoria (2019–), Domingo-as-Ali-Muhammad sits like a collapsed boxer across from Zendaya’s Rue, skewering contemporary activism culture. Instead, he advises, “A true revolution is, at its core, spiritual.”

Domingo’s career has been a series of risk-taking roles. He became an player when he took a spiritual leap into the arts, dropping out of Temple University’s journalism program to move to San Francisco. While in San Francisco, he created the autobiographical chronicle A Male child and His Soul, a play that explored Domingo’s West Philadelphia upbringing in the ’70s and ’80s, set against a musical soundtrack including Stevie, Aretha, and Marvin. At the time, a “very well-respected” Tony Award–winning playwright told Domingo his play “shouldn’t work” due to its unorthodox structure as a one-act, one-man performance that transformed the actor into various family members and neighbors.
