DC, Marvel and Archie support the Gay Agenda -
May 25th, 2012, 12:03 AM
Marvel has some gay characters and this June they are publishing an issue of one of their comic books wherein two of the characters, males, get married to each other. They also had a contest for readers to submit variant cover art for the issue.
DC has a slew of lesbian characters, one of which is a character that was originally created for the cartoon, Batman: The Animated Series, and like Harley Quinn who was also created for the cartoon, was brought into the comics: Renee Montoya. Montoya was never said to be a lesbian in the cartoon, but was put into a relationship with a character that had been created in the sixties, and later declared to never have existed when DC retroactively changed all of its continuity in the eighties: Batwoman, when they brought her back. In the previous continuity she was straight, and actually had feelings for Batman. When they reintroduced her they made her a lesbian. These are just two of the lesbians in DC comics. DC recently changed their continuity again and they are doing something similar, bringing back a character and changing them from straight to gay. This time it's a male. They have not yet announced who, but have stated it to be a major and iconic character, who was apparently major and iconic before the relaunch. However, it is a character who has yet to appear in the new continuity, so it is not Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman. But many of the other heroes have had many other people behind the mask, so even if the person currently holding the moniker is not it it could be one of a few others to have been the main character of that mantle at one time; The Flash, Green Lantern, etc.
Archie comics has already beat Marvel to the punch on the gay character wedding.
Below are some links to these stories. Language warning for the comments sections of some of these sites.
Gee, if I didn't know better, I would think that the sodomites are promoting their promiscous, disease ridden "death style" to children.
"All societies of men must be governed in some way or other... Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet."
Just wanted to clarify a few things. First up, the current Batwoman is actually the 2nd person to hold the title. The original Batwoman was not changed or retconned.
Second, Renee Montoya existed in the comics before she appeared on tv and was also one of the first gay characters in dc. She is later chosen by Vic to become the Question (my current avatar).
Now, as for the dudes getting married, I know one of them is Northstar. He's probably one of the first gay superheroes ever and honestly, he needs to have something nice happen to him. Marvel treats their gay characters like garbage. Northstar alone has died or lost a boyfriend like four times. He could use a break.
And in response to CultureWarrior, the average age of comic readers is like 20-30. These comics specifically are not for young kids due to the genre. So no, these aren't being "promoted" to our youngsters.

They've treated Ultimate Collossus pretty well.
It's actually been pretty adorable the way Mark Millar has the physically strongest X-Man ever get all googly-eyed around Wolverine, Angel, Northstar, etc.
Oh, and there is no "gay agenda," except to be fully integrated into society, with all rights and priviledges of ordinary citizens, including protection against discrimination.
Comics have ever been the domain of the social outcast, starting with Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster in 1932 (as well as the rest of the hundreds of other Jewish kids who couldn't find work doing anything else, and are now in the pantheon of the greatest comic book writers and artists ever).

I'm glad I got burned out on comics over 20 years ago. That being said, I have electronic copies of Rom and Micronauts, which were probably my two favorite series.

Also, quoting a primary source counts as support for a statement, so no backsies.

From the DC comic website:
"The New DC Nation App
Over 100 of the best DC comics for kids are now available for your iPad and iPhone. And that’s just the start…" http://www.dccomics.com/
Now is it my imagination, or are 20-30 year olds looking younger these days?

Debate me.

Sorry, Culture you still lose. As I said before, the comics that these particular characters appear in are not intended for children. The last Batwoman issue I read contained violence, drug use, sex, Satanism...the whole caboodle. Any parent buying that for their kid is just being irresponsible. The lesbian part is the least of their worries.
