Confirmed: Superman might be gay

Makes sense. He’s got the build, the fashion sense, and just maybe the gaydar-pinging facial structure. And yet — no one’s sure yet that he’s the one who’s coming out. All we know is that it’s a male, that it’ll happen next month, and that he’s “one of the major iconic DC characters.” Is there something you’d like to tell us, Batman? Actually, no need: We already know. So which one is it? The folks at DC Comics aren’t saying, but they do say it’s the latest effort to make sure their comics keep up with the times. Last September, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of comic books to feature an updated look and a new lineup of LGBT superheroes: including Voodoo, an African American bisexual woman and Batwoman, an open lesbian… “DC and (archrival) Marvel are recognizing that there is an LGBT audience that has been reading their comics for years,” said Matt Kane, associate director of entertainment and media for GLAAD. “When creating these fictional worlds it’s important to show the full diversity.” Aside from making good business sense, Kane said younger readers are perfectly comfortable with gay characters and expect to see their peers represented.

Does this mean that Lois Lane is a trannie?

{Wonder Woman] did come from an Island of only women.

Aww. Laz could make her switch teams. He's my idol.

Why must they use the established super heroes that have become heroes in their own right.

What would be the name of this new, gay, Super Hero (he asked, ducking)?

Keeping up with the times? Got'cha! They're admitting it's a choice and a fad of the times.

I just read something on another thread...the 'queer' character may turn out to be Superman...the 'Earth-2' Superman; the 'Golden Age' Superman

Wasn't there a series many years back where the Earth-2 Superman married Lois Lane..."Mr. and Mrs. Superman"?

Pretty vile that they would take a character who was the first super-hero and the inspiration for countless more. Ignore that legacy and focus on what liberals think is really important...what he does with his privates in his bedroom. Siegel and Shuster would be appalled. Sales on the "New 52" must be worse than reported.

Vile defines the queer agenda.

This is another attempt to mainstream homosexuality in the minds of kids.

I’m a bit surprised there aren’t more serious comments on this thread.

Maybe Clark Kent will be straight but Superman gay? Think of the years of story lines if he turns out to have some sort of split identity.

To be fair; it is still speculation. But can you imagine looking back at all those great WW Two era Superman covers where patriotism just blared out at the reader, and now you find out that Superman is QUEER? If so...BAD idea. This is the influence of Hollywood’s Dan DiDio on DC Comics.

“Does Supermans sexuality really matter to kids?”

Naw. I guess you’re right. Let’s make him a cannibal and a pedophile too. Maybe throw in some bestiality. Kids aren’t affected by culture anyway. sheesh

Interesting.

I’d have a difficult time buying it with either Superman or Batman.

Ok, granted, after all Superman is an extraterrestial life form, and as someone else pointed out, he may find human females about as desirable as human males would find your average female chimp, but there’s that whole Lois Lane thing.

Now with Batman, hmmm............Dark Knight Rises comes out pretty soon, and they’d be taking a major risk (though thankfully, Nolan’s version has eliminated the Robin character from the continuity).

Maybe as someone else said, Green Arrow.

Or Aqua Man.......but he’s kinda useless, to me at least.

I dunno - it seems like proof on the other side would be Captain Kirk - for whom other-speciesness seems to have made him even hornier.

Will Superman be leaping out of a closet instead of a phone booth?

Where would he find a phone booth? He'd have better luck finding a radio that still used a 6SJ7.

Hey, he wears tights and looks like a muscle-bound baller-no (If that’s what a guy who dances ballet is called.) What is more gay than a guy wearing tights and looking like a ballerino?
