DC Comics plans to reintroduce a character as gay in a future issue, it has been revealed.

Co-publisher Dan DiDio previously said that the company would not change the sexual orientation of an existing superhero and would bring in a new one altogether.

But at Kapow Comic Convention in London on Sunday, he revealed that an existing character - who was previously assumed to be straight - will become ‘one of our most prominent gay characters’, according to comic blog BleedingCool.com.

Who is it? An existing DC Comics character - who was previously assumed to be straight - will 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.

DiDio did not specify which character would ‘come out’ or in which issue it would be featured.

But Courtney Simmons, DC Entertainment’s senior vice president of publicity, told ABC News that it would be soon.

'One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June,' Simmons told the network.

Speculation: Some Twitter users assume Batman will come out as gay.

They want to and tried, but so far have been told very legally and strongly, to go fly a kite.

perhaps there should be a ratings code for comic books. Sell whatever they want but make the publisher disclose the content. IE “H” for homosexual content and require it be sold out of reach of minors with any other sexual content material.

Superheros—much like G.I. Joe—have no private parts, therefore are asexual.

If not already done, cancel cable TV. Do not extend a contract with DISH or DirectTV. Use that beautiful new LCD bigscreen TV only a couple of times a week, or daily for the first 10 minutes of the evening local news.

It’s a small but significent step that FReepers can take to clear their minds. No need for the so-called news channels.

Try it. You’ll like it.

I remember that scene. Col. Klink comes out of a window and starts talking to them. Batman tells him to say hello to Col. Hogan and the others. How schmaltzy is that?

He has a girlfriend.

Batman dated Catwoman.

Robin (nightwing) MARRIED starfire.

I suspect there is a “suit” who is projecting their propaganda for Obama since he is mentioned in the story. IOW they are trying to rescue dear leader. It is like the ww ii writers comming out for the enemies of the USA.

the homosexual exec at DC will require it be in an enseamble group so that it can not be avoided. The result will be killing the whole team.

The ultimate outcome? the homosexual caracter will be killed off or sent off and there will be a new “#1” issue with much fanfare relaunching the team.

This is taking defeat from the jaws of victory.

Smart move DC! Piss off 90% of your readers to placate 2-3% of your customers. The hag isn't looking out for the business interests of DC but is towing the line of the gay mafia.

There is a simple reason that homosexuality was suppressed. Once it is no longer a vice homosexuals, like liberals, look out for and promote their own and eventually take over all-male institutions like the military and the clergy. Once at the top they begin to abuse their authority and prey upon straight males until it reaches a breaking point.

comic book conventions to become a dangerous place for children.

DC no longer family friendly.

footnote: given it is next month, the edition is already finalized and will or has gone to print. If there is a dollar outcry, this will be pulled.

Remember the batman movie is about to arrive at theaters. This will stigmatize the brand.

Exactly. The current DC heads didn’t originate these characters. If they want to make up a new homosexual character that would still be bad but not as bad as ruining a character against the intentions of the original author.

I hope it’s not Aquaman, Batman, Robin or Superman as they were my favorites as a child.

that is exactly what they want.

The paradign is to DESTROY you youth. Violate the normal standards so they can reconfigure to their model of hedonism.

It would not suprize if they used the current robin as the human sacrifice so to speak.

If homosexuality was normal, they wouldn’t need to engage in these propaganda tactics in order to condition acceptance amongst the populace.

Let me just add - there have been thousands of civilizations and nations over the period of known human history. If homosexuality was normal, there would be at least someplace where it thrived and was widely accepted - and not as a brief, elitist fashion either, but as basic part of the culture. I know of none.

Modern secularists think they will create some kind of new society. They're absolutely wrong - its all been tried before, with the same results.

The D.C. cartoon character that needs to come out is Mr. Transparency himself.
