Jared Poe from The Crow: The Lazarus Heart, was a gay photographer who becomes the Crow after he is framed for the murder of his lover. Poe then seeks justice with help from his lover’s twin, Lucrece. When the plot of novel was adapted to a movie, The Crow: Salvation, all LGBTQ elements were removed, including the Crow’s sexual orientation and Lucrece’s identity as a trans woman. (“Straight-washing” didn’t help the film, which was unceremoniously dropped by it’s theatrical distributor and had to go to direct-to-home-video.)
