Character: Jake Peralta Appears in: Brooklyn Nine Nine Commonly interpreted as: Straight
But really: Jake has made comments about his coworkers – his boss tells him that he is not his husband, and Jake replies, “Well that’s hurtful”. In the episode The Wednesday Incident he asks out both a man and a woman in the same way by asking them, “Dammit! What are you doing after this?” This could be seen as a throwaway joke, but at the end of the episode Jake muses that he’s going to die alone, despite a lack of any romance in that episode. In the same episode, Holt tells Jake that he had to lie to the man he loved, and Jake seemed to show doubt over whether Holt was speaking about his husband or about him.

7 reasons why Jake Peralta is awesome, as explained by phil-the-stone:
1. He’s an inherently feminist character and it’s completely normalized. He
treats his female coworkers as equals, and respects the hell out of
them. Also, he has some pretty awesome platonic friendships with Rosa
and Gina, and Platonic Only m/f friendships are v hard to come by in
today’s media content.
