Representación LGBTQ

The third season reveal of Oscar's sexuality represented, for the time, a rare example of a regular sitcom character being openly gay. During the 2006–2007 season, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) reported he was the only LGBT person of color character on a regular series.[4] The following year, he was the "only remaining gay character on a half-hour comedy program".[5] For the 2009–2010 season, Martinez represented one of four regular series characters who were LGBT persons of color; by 2010–2011, there were six, and in 2011–2012 there were five.[6]

Oscar's homosexuality is first addressed in Season 3, Episode 1, titled "Gay Witch Hunt." In this episode, it is revealed that he is gay, and Michael Scott's mishandling of the situation (including kissing him without consent) leads to Dunder Mifflin offering Oscar a paid vacation and company car to avoid a lawsuit. As one of the show's more private characters, Oscar's romantic relationships and personal life are only occasionally featured.

Almost all of Oscar's co-workers are accepting of his homosexuality (including Michael and Kevin, although both continue to make ignorant and immature comments about it, which Oscar generally shrugs off). An exception is fellow accountant Angela Martin, whose conservative Christian views lead her to react to Oscar with extreme bigotry at first. However, she later realises the error of her ways and apologises to Oscar for her negative reactions and comments.
