HOLLYWOOD, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- Comic book superhero Wonder Woman will officiate a same-sex "wedding" in an upcoming issue.
Jason Badowerhe, Wonder Woman's cartoonist, says it was his idea to make Wonder Woman, as the comic will say, "a proponent of gay marriage."
Badowerhe says DC Comics was "fantastic" over the idea. He told The Sydney Morning Herald that his editor "was like, 'Great! I love it! Let's do it!'"
In the comic, Wonder Woman solemizes two women's "marriage." "By the power vested in me," is replaced with "Bound by the lasso of truth." At the conclusion of the ceremony, when traditionally the celebrant says, "I now pronounce you husband and wife," Wonder Woman simply says, "I now pronounce you married."
An amazed Clark Kent questions Wonder Woman, who says gay "marriage" is no big deal to her, because her home island, Themyscura, is all women. "To us," she blithely explains, "it's not 'gay' marriage. It's just marriage."
The two lesbians are portrayed as heroes as well: they are volunteers helping people after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans.
The goal is to promote same-sex "marriage," and to portray it as normal. "Wonder Woman is such a recognized icon, she's like an international diplomat," Badowerhe said. "When she says 'This is what I do and it's no big deal to me,' she can pave the way to make [homosexual marriage] more normal for everybody."
Badowerhe explained that he is projecting for his readers "who we want to be." "Popular culture reflects who we are now, but it can reflect who we want to be," he said. "I think DC superheros are who we want to be."
Critics say Badowerhe and DC Comics are perverting the character Wonder Woman away from the character's original 1941 composition. The creator of Wonder Woman, psychologist William Moulton Marston, clearly intended Wonder Woman to be heterosexual, as she was in love with Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman even called Steve Trevor her lover.
Wonder Woman was created during World War II, and she often fought Nazis. Her depiction as a muscular heroine fighting for justice and peace has led to Wonder Woman being adopted as a feminist icon.
The issue will be online Friday, and the printed comic book will be published in November.
At least he's admitting there's an agenda.

Go back to collecting your comic books, Badowerhe.
Another good reason to NOT see the upcoming Batman vs. Superman flick..., I mean, besides Ben Affleck.
Uuuuuughhhh..... my list of comics gets shorter and shorter....
Does anybody over 10 years od still read comic books?
The 10 and under is the group they are trying to proselytize.
Just another thing to make sure my grandkids don’t get into.
I always wondered about Wonder woman. Now I know.
I remember the days of ‘Truth, justice and the American way.’
You can’t escape PC-madness anymore, not even in comic books. Why does everything have to be agenda-driven?
Sort of amazed the far left was allowed to take over comics like this. I always pin the start date to when communist Warren Beatty and Madonna were allowed to takeover the Dick Tracy series for their movie.
That said, of all their PC rewrites the past 20 years, at least this is semi accurate. I think we all knew Wonder Woman came from an island of lesbians.
Why does the left have to sexualize everything? Comic books used to be simple stories that were fun to read. Now, all have to promote an agenda, an agenda which is simply wrong.
We need to be as passionate and determined to return this country to a respectable, non-politically correct culture as they are to destroy it. More so in fact.
The war is well under way and at our doorstep whether we care to admit it or not.
So, they’re all immortal? If they come from a place with no men, how do they maintain a population? The logic fails with this one.
When I was a kid, superheroes fought Nazis, or Communists, or evildoers hell-bent on taking over the world....
...now, they're presiding over gay marriages.
How far we have fallen.
Because for the left everything is political. It is the totalitarian strain that is woven into their outlook on life. To some extent this strain is reactionary to God being the creator of everything and hence since they are at war with God they fight on every front they can.
Warren Beatty is a commie along with most of Hollyweird. Joe McCarthy was right about Hollywood being infected with communists, even though he was not the one prosecuting the Hollywood Ten. That said, much of “ART” in the world has been hijacked by the far-left pinko-commies and we, the silent majority, have allowed it. This WILL get worse before the “volcano” blows. Only then will the pendulum swing back to normalcy.
She grew up as a buff Amazon on an island populated exclusively by women.
Biological impossibilities aside, it’s hardly a surprise that WW is batting for the pink team.
Like I said, media types create their works of art primarily to promote an agenda. Entertainment is merely the vehicle used to put you into a state of suspended disbelief so that they can slip the agenda into your mind without you knowing it.
I wonder how Batman can be "at war" with Superman. Superman would crush Batman no matter how many marvelous toys Bruce Wayne has.
I mean, didn't Batman watch the last Superman movie? Was it not released in Gotham City? C'mon...it's Superman.
