Here's what I posted about (snicker) Bunker:

A gay Mexican kid wearing bright pink. On the one hand, I respect that everyone can be represented. On the other, larger hand, this is just ricockulous. A super-flaming gay stereotype from a small village in Mexico where everyone was accepting of him, because everyone knows Latinos and people from small villages in third-world countries are always the most accepting of gay people, right?

To that end he grew up in an angst-free environment. He was born out of the closet and so he has a very refreshing outlook on life.

Because, hey, gay people know at birth they're gay and are trying to hide it when they're in diapers? Scott Lobdell remains the talentless hack he's always been.

Snigtad, why are you writing this shit under your pen name and Alan Grant doesn't seem to be able to get work?

And, really, can we get just one more fucking "Pied Piper" gay character? Any of you who read Flash in the 1990s know what I'm talking about--it just came up in conversation one issue that he was gay, and nothing was different from how it'd been before. Even Batwoman, though I understand it became one of the better DC titles of late, was founded on the "And guess what? SHE'S A LESBIAN!!!" angle. Big frickin' deal. Superman is Superman whether he's fucking Lois Lane or Jimmy Olsen.

Well, Superman is getting fucked in the ass by DC, WB, the Siegel and Shusters, and most importantly Marc "Asshat" Toberoff.

What's ironic is that you are posting that while sporting an avatar of Superman Blue from the "electric period." And that is no longer the worst thing to happen to him.

If you replace "Super Heroes" with "aliens," you've just proven that homosexuals are actually the result of alien experimentation for some purpose we can't understand until the aliens return. There is no other way to see it unless you have your head in the sand!

I fucking hate pink. And metrosexuals and Lady Gaga born this supergay teenagers wearing make-up and being superskinny and super Rupaul bitchy gurrrrrrl! Supergay characters in comics doesn't help anyone. the key word here is character. And as Anarky just said, if it's mentioned and then everyone moves on it's normalising. If it's revealed and then everything about that character revolves around their sexuality it becomes a steaming pile of horseshit. Who the hell wants to see Superheroes choosing soft furnishings at Ikea or whatever?

Just to add to the list of gay Supers:
Northstar
Collosus
Cable
Hercules
Shatterstar (bisexual) and Rictor.
Hulkling and Assguardian/Wiccan
Anone
Graymalkin
Dyna-mite/Mighty Destroyer and Lord Falsworth of the Union Jacks
Shrinking violet and Lightning lass
Hero Cruz
Obsidian
Off-Ramp and Frostbite
Freedom ring (deceased)
Catman (bisexual)
John Constantine (bisexual)

Isn't Rorschach supposed to be gay too? Or is it Ozymandias? I know one of the Watchmen is.

So wait, Kitty Pryde has a cock? Because she and Colossus definitely fucked.

Does Domino have a cock also? It was heavily implied that she and Cable were gettin' busy way back when.

Ultimate Colossus is Gay.
Regular 616 Colossus is straight (but truthfully hes probably a little bi-curious)

Don't know how Cable and Herc made the list. I don't know if that's just snark or what. But I defer to Jargo as his Gaydar is definitely more spot on than mine.

Of all the characters on the list, I'd have to say Anole is the best written in terms of representing gay. He came out. It wasn't a big deal. It doesn't define his character. He and the other students moved on. Boom. Simple. Done.

Oh, also Karolina Dean from Runaways is a lesbian.
Julie Power from Power Pack is bi.
Striker from Avengers Academy just came out.

And I know she shagged Matt Murdock, but Elektra has always seemed like a bull rugmunch to me.

Hey, 1000 Posts! I knew I'd get there eventually!

That chick from Gen 13 (Freefall?) was all about the muff.

Captain America's childhood friend, Arnold Roth was gay. He was written very milquetoast, but Mark Gruenwald was ahead of the curve by having an openly gay character way back in the early 80s. He certainly predated Obsidian and Pied Piper and Northstar. And those characters were pretty much retconned as gay.

I thought Byrne always wanted Northstar to be gay and hinted at it, but Jim Shooter wouldn't have any of it (unless Northstar was trying to abuse Bruce Banner at the Y).

I'm slightly wrong in that Hercules at some point in some universe and timeline has parked his pork dagger in Northstar. Herc is Bi though. Or dead. I lose track.

Cable I have no idea about really but I remember some sort of rumblings between him and Northstar. Maybe Cable is just jealous that Northstar gets more action than he does. Or he's one of those guys who gets his peen sucked by a guy in the john when he's drunk then conveniently forgets when he's sober. And constantly brags about how butch he is and how much pussy he gets. He's not gay but sometimes his dick is.

I imagine many of these Supers swing at some point down to the adrenaline rush of kicking supervillain ass and the fact they're so different to normals it's hard to find anyone capable of dealing with their other selves, their angst and their taste for stretchy figure hugging unitards.

There's whole pages on wikipedia devoted to this subject. There's tons of rugmunchers but I expect that in comics as it's a straight geeks wet dream. but I was surprised at how many buttpluggers there are. beside the whole Batman and Robin joke.
It would be cool if one of these dudes was acknowledged in a movie without much fuss. Just a throwaway line or a significant gaze. No-one but freaks would want to see man on man action on screen but I'm sure a movie going public could handle a nod and recognition that the world of suppers isn't too dissimilar to the regular world in the way of amour. Or have I missed something while watching the recent slew of movies?

I'd say Hawkeye should be outed.

But there's no reason to insult the entire gay community.

Hercules shags so much and so often, he could've nailed a man and not even realized it, having not looked down and already moved on to the next wench. But does that make Herc gay? Is it the act or the intent that defines gay? A gay guy that sticks his Weiner in a vag doesn't turn straight after, right?

i'm so glad you're back, Jargs
