Why this is even relevant is beyond me. Could you imagine the shitstorm if another superhero came out as a God fearing Christian? The left are pathetic souls.
are you really confusing sexual orientation, religion, and political affiliations
What people do these days (destroying childhood-heroes) to please the Liberals.
I hope his super-power wouldn't be to turn the other cheek.
You are being silly and, yes, you do have something against gays--as your rhetoric clearly indicates. I thought you were more evolved than that. Obviously, I was mistaken. So be it.Special "collector's edition" issues aside, people buy comics because they are interested in the characters and/or the story lines. If the story line is compelling kids will buy it; if not, they won't. Making a stand alone title character gay or lesbian is risky in the current climate--a climate exemplified by your attitude. It makes more sense for such characters to be part of an ensemble or group. That way stories and relationships can be explored without narrow minded people focusing on anal sex acts--as if that would ever be featured in a kid friendly comic. Even intimate moments of heterosexual love are largely eschewed by comic book writers because these are not romance novels--they are comic books. The fact is we live in diverse world and that diversity is appropriately being manifest in comic books. It wasn't that long ago when someone very much like you would have objected to a "colored" appearing in a comic book as a lead character. Or an interracial union would have been cause to object or boycott a publisher. For the most part those attitudes died with the people who held them. And your anxieties will die with you too; today's young people do not share them. One some level I think you know that, and this may be what really lies behind your objection: you see the future and you know that you and your values have no place in it. You belong in the past... and there you will remain. For what it's worth most comics are not bought by parents for their kids. Kids are exposed to them by older siblings, friends, etc. and they buy them on their own: at the local drug store, comic store, online. etc. I read and purchased a lot of comic books when I was growing up. Not one of them was bought for me by my parents.
Like the new "Sanchez Rodrigo" Spider-Man?Fuck that shit, I have nothing against gays or blacks, but please not in my comic books. Spidey is white and hetero. I understand your opinion though.
There is one thing worse than someone who doesn't get it; that is someone who thinks he gets it--but doesn't. Enjoy living in the past.
What's there to get? Spiderman was always white. If he was hispanic, then I would want him to stay hispanic. All these alternate storylines are due to the comic book industry dying out. They need to try to get a wider audience.

Their own books have stated so.
I had no idea. Awesome site. What would happen if the mainstream.ever got ahold of this?
The gay community would go apeshit if someone turned one of their precious gay characters straight.
