OMM: Marvel and DC are having gay storylines! WHARRGARBL!
« on: May 26, 2012, 01:10:30 am »
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2012/05/one-million-moms-targets-dc-marvel-over-gay-storylines/

Or: Someone needs to get a life. DC is hinting at having an iconic character go gay, while Marvel is doing a gay marriage in their X-Men comic. And of course, these "one million 'moms'" (I understand that most of them are men, maybe they got their idea from a bad Schwartzenegger/DeVito flick? And they hardly have the numbers they claim to besides) go into a frothy rage over it.

Maybe they should spend more time aiding the poor, helping those who need it, instead of passing judgement that others may hoist them by their own petards on.

They could just, um, not buy those comic books.

I mean, there have got to be thousands of comic book titles available in the USA (more if you count foreign-language stuff).

Speaking of which, I have to wonder how they feel about Japanese tentacle-rape hentai.

Hasn't Northstar been gay for, like, 20 years? Way to only care once he's getting married, guys.

Gah, it's like some people don't even follow comic book history.

Not sure about DC, but Marvel has had gay-friendly story-lines for years now. Northstar -- one half of the aforementioned gay marriage -- was very obviously gay, even before they officially outed him (very, VERY long before they outed him, in fact). Not-A-Million Not-Moms are waaayyyy behind if they're only freaking out about this now.

Marvel has had gay characters since the late 90's. Northstar being the most notible of their characters at the time.
DC has been a little slower in bringing gay characters into their stories. Of course I am a little skeptical about a "main character" turning out to be gay. I really don't expect Superman, Batman, or any of their big names to be changed to such a degree.

I've heard (which is about as reliable as any rumor out there) that it might be a choice between Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and... someone else I forget.

A gay Wonder Woman would be kind of neat.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to call Aquaman an "iconic character", though if he were gay I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

Hasnt Northstar been out since the late 70's/ early 8's? or was it all subtext at that point?

It was hinted at pretty much the entire time, but he wasn't allowed to say "I'm gay" in the comics until 1992.

Hmmm. I can't see them making Aquaman gay, he's WAY too into fishy women. Plus, no gay man would ever wear green tights and an orange scaled scoop-neck top swimming. (Not to mention all the years he had a magic, transforming water hand and all he made it into was a trident...)

Wonder Woman, maybe. She's pretty much been written as a lesbian since they retconned her into a funky kung-fu detective with no powers in the 70s. When's the last time you saw WW pursue a man who wasn't Supes, and therefore unattainable? Plus, you know, any woman who carries a rope with her at all times and wears a crown has SOME issues in the closet.

What about Power Girl? If she was gay her "HEY! LOOK! TITS!" costume might finally make some sense as a desperate attempt to appear straight. I know several lesbians who went through a definite "mega-slutty" phase as a beard.

Maybe Green Lantern? Yeah, he's hooked up with his share of ladies, but he places an awful lot of focus on jewelry for not being Italian.

Martian Manhunter? He wears  a speedo and suspenders (which essentially makes him Mr. March in a hot firemen calendar, and those are NOT marketed to women). Plus he calls himself "Manhunter" for God's sake. Might as well just call himself "Carl Cockhunter."

Who says it's a hero? Maybe a villain is going to come out. Lex Luthor has gone through some major prissy/bitchy phases in his life, plus, you know, he DID choose to make his battlesuit iridescent green and purple...

Bizzarro? If he is the opposite of Supes, me MUST be gay, since Supes is so straightlaced he probably thinks "People" magazine is porn and Wal*Mart bargain-bin underwear is lingerie. (Superman can not possibly be gay since he has x-ray vision and has never been caught crotch-scanning Jimmy Olsen, even to just check and see if the carpet matches the drapes.)

What about the Joker? He is, from a certain point of view, nothing more than a tragically misguided transvestite who knows nothing about make-up. He also wears an AWFUL lot of purple for a white guy. Plus, now that I think about it, what straight man would not have boned Harley Quinn to within an inch of his life five minutes after seeing her?

Who else could it be? Robin? That old outfit was HIGHLY suspicious.

Ras? He does tend to wear dresses and occasionally thrust himself into Lazarus's pit...

Penguin? He hangs out with birds in nightclubs and his nose is practically a dildo. (But that last could be an argument for his heterosexuality, too, I suppose.)

Speculation is running rampant that it's gonna be Alan Scott.  Who's son Obsidian is gay...who hasn't shown up yet and might not exist in NuDCU.  Which means DC is telling us homosexuality is genetic.  Which is stupid.

Ironbite-also last time OMM protested something gay happening in comics Archie had to do a reprinting of their gay wedding comic.

Yeah, the reaction on Fark amounts to... lots and lots of laughing.
