Imagine, Captain America in a homosexual relationship with Bucky the Winter Soldier.

Now this is what the Marvel comic fans are pressurising for, with the hashtag #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend trending on Twitter, reports News.com.au.

This idea came up after evaluating the equation between the two characters in all the three parts of the Captain America series. Some fans aren't content with the two men being just good mates.

In 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' best mates Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan), and Steve Rogers aka Captain America (played by Chris Evans) fight alongside each other in World War II. But at the end of the film, Bucky falls to his death, or so we are led to believe.

 

In 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' Captain America discovers that Bucky isn't dead but was instead rescued and brainwashed by HYDRA into becoming an assassin known as the Winter Soldier. After an epic fight scene with Captain America, Bucky starts to remember his true identity and ends up saving Captain America's life.

In the latest film, 'Captain America: Civil War,' Captain America assists Bucky to overcome his brainwashing by helping him remember more about his past.

Some time back, Disney fans too took to their Twitter handles to ask for a girlfriend for Frozen's lead character, Princess Elsa.

This campaign trended with the hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend and recently the 2013 'Frozen' princess, played by Idina Menzel, extended support to the campaign.
