Independence Day 2 Will Feature a Gay Character

Filmmaker and known LGBT activist Roland Emmerich recently confirmed that there will be a gay character in his upcoming Independence Day sequel.

As someone who's been following the recent developments in the Supreme Court concerning same-sex marriage, Emmerich was recently asked by The Huffington Post if he might incorporate gay rights issues into his future films. In response, the director said, "Actually in the next Independence Day there is a gay character."

Emmerich didn't go into further detail about the role, although he did confirm, on an unrelated note, that Bill Pullman would indeed be returning for the followup.

Independence Day 2 -- tentatively titled ID Forever Part One -- is scheduled to hit theaters on July 3, 2015.
