The Overwatch comic book is written by Michael Chu with artwork from Miki Montollo, and in the latest issue (which is holiday themed thanks to Christmas being right around the corner), we learn a surprising new detail about the personal life of Tracer. The story follows her as she races against the clock to find the perfect gift for her significant other, and it's near the end that we learn that's a redhead girl named Emily. This now makes Tracer the franchise's first openly LGBT character.

What makes this significant is the fact that Blizzard has spent the past year or so hinting that a number of the game's characters are LGBT, something that's sent speculation among fans into overdrive.
