Deadpool V Gambit? Or Deadpool Slash Gambit?

The sexuality of Deadpool has been a much-discussed thing.  Portrayed as the Marvel Universe equivalent of Groucho Marx/Bugs Bunny, he's taken to making everything a joke. Including his sexuality and sexual preferences.

Ryan Reynolds would be happy for him to have a boyfriend. Director Tim Miller says he is "pansexual. I want that quoted. Pansexual Deadpool."

Co-creator Fabien Nicieza has stated,

More recent writer of the character, Gerry Duggan describes him,

But it has still been argued by the likes of The Guardian, describing him as "Deadpool: the pansexual superhero who has never had a non-heterosexual experience". Or Towelroad asking "Deadpool: Pansexual Antihero or Gay-Baiting Jokester?"

Here's the preview in full.
