Super Heroes Are GAY!!!

[Jargo]

I'll explain my absence in some other thread but yeah, been missing interaction with sane people lately.

[anarky]

Then what the hell made you come back here?

[Jargo]

Where else was I gonna go?

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Regarding the Marriage Issue (and by Issue, I mean Astonishing X-Men 51. The actual comic issue, not the gay rights activism "issue") I think I'll buy it, despite it being an obvious Media Event. Mostly because I think people like Bachmann and Santorum need to STFU and butt out of things that don't concern them. Telling Gays whether or not they can get hitched is like telling people with blue eyes or people with asthma they can't get hitched. It's fucking stupid and it's wrong. Fuck off, bigots of the world.

When OneMillionMoms threw a hissy fit about Kevin Keller, unsigned up for their newsletter/e-mail list because I'm always down for a good laugh at bigots. Heres the e-mail I received today.

DC Comics AND Marvel Superheroes Come Out of the Closet

May 24, 2012

Dear Justin,
Part 1: DC Comics recently announced one of their most popular, but as of yet unnamed, prominent characters will soon be coming out of the closet. DC Comics, owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, has decided that one of their beloved superheroes will be homosexual. Who will they choose; Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, or another one of their characters that children look up to?

Last year, DC Comics Co-publisher Dan DiDio said that the company would not change the sexual orientation of an existing superhero and would bring in a new one altogether. Parents may have been able to avoid a new character since it would not be one many children have grown to admire. DiDio has changed his mind and will not be introducing a brand new character. They will feature an existing character who was previously assumed to be straight, will now become openly gay. Senior VP Sales Bob Wayne said DiDio's view 'had evolved', comparing the shift to Barack Obama's recent endorsement of same-sex marriage, according to a report. DiDio did not specify which character would 'come out' or in which issue it would be featured. It will likely be a June issue during LBGT month, joining lesbian character Batwoman.

Part 2: And to make matters more shocking, Marvel, now owned by Disney, followed DC Comics' announcement with a surprise of their own. Northstar, Marvel's first openly gay hero, is going to tie the knot with his boyfriend in the current issue of "Astonishing X-Men." This is the first same-sex wedding in a superhero comic book.

In "Astonishing X-Men" #50, which hit comic shop shelves Wednesday, Northstar proposes to his boyfriend, Kyle, a fellow snow sports enthusiast who possesses no superpowers. The couple will seal the deal in issue #51, slated for a June 20 release.

"The story of Northstar and Kyle is universal, and at the core of everything I write: a powerful love between two people who have to fight for it against all odds," said X-Men comic writer Marjorie Liu in a statement.

Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, "I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?"

This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don't but do want to indoctrate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light. These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children's superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).

Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to homosexuality at an early age. Comic books would be one of the last places a parent would expect their child to be confronted with homosexual topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Children do not know what straight, homosexual, or coming out of the closet even means, but DC Comics and Marvel are using superheroes to confuse them on this topic to raise questions and awareness of an alternative lifestyle choice. These companies are prompting a premature discussion on sexual orientation.

Northstar's wedding will be the first same-sex wedding in the world of mainstream superhero comics, but not the first gay comic books character. Earlier this year One Million Moms emailed Toys 'R' Us concerning the "Life With Archie" No. 16 with two gay characters getting hitched. Toys 'R' Us had the audacity to display "Archie- Just Married" at the front of the store by the checkout counters.

TAKE ACTION

Please send DC Comics (Warner Bros. Entertainment Company) and Marvel (Disney) an email urging them to change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately. Ask them to do the right thing and reverse their decision to have sexual orientation displayed to readers.

So does that also include the straight heroes?
Have Lois & Superman been a moral outrage for all these years?

i didn't even think about plastic man - good call, onemillionmoms!

If he's a gay little boy, then I have no problem imagining him wanting a boyfriend or husband. Stupid bint.
That's what's so ri-goddamn-diculously frustrating about these nitwits. They can't conceive of it as NOT BEING A CHOICE. Little boys don't go around thinking 'Hmmm..I think I'll try GAY for a few months and see if I like it. Those gay recruiters really talked me into it!'. Nobody chooses to be straight. It's not the fucking Cola Wars, you twat.

My short list is

Ted Kord
Wally West
Ray Palmer
Garth(Aqualad/Tempest)
Gar Logan(Beast Boy)

[anarky]

Retards. And I don't mean mentally handicapped. I mean retards.

It actually bugs me that, in their rush to be outraged, they missed the EXPLICIT statements that ruled out everyone they listed.

although a taste-test booth could be interesting... "i took the penis challenge!" buttons and everything like that...

[RoIIo Tomassi]

That's QOTD, vyn.

My shitty 2.5 cents again (could that be the name of our editorial/opinion section?):

The Marvel Gay event is more of a comic event than BIG GAY EVENT(TM). It has been pushed maybe a bit more than the Storm/TChalla wedding, but there hasn't been the deluge of media craziness OR the large-scale misunderstanding of exactly who's gay & what the fuck is going on. Also, from what I gather the stories in Alpha Flight have been kinda gearing up for this, kinda like the Reed/Sue, Peter/MJ weddings from the past.

The DC Gay Event is more of a BIG GAY EVENT(TM) than a comic event. It has been specifically engineered to sell a few comics NOW; it's not even the "real" Green Lantern for fuck sakes.

More evidence that DC is simply terrible and doesn't deserve the rights to the characters they themselves created & own. I dare them to let IDW's creative people take over for a year & compare the awesomeness of the comics to what they're pumping out on their own - it almost makes a honky tear up just thinking about it.

it's not official until it's in the QotD thread topic.
