Wonder Woman is about to receive an honor very few actual human beings have received, much less fictional characters! In honor of her 75th anniversary, the United Nations will hold a ceremony at its New York City headquarters on October 21, to declare it Wonder Woman Day and among those in attendance will be the real woman who helped beam the hero’s comic book exploits into millions of homes, Lynda Carter. Carter, of course, played the flagship DC hero on the hit TV series which originally aired on ABC for its first season, then for three more on CBS. It has been in syndication off and on ever since and is now available on home video. It has also inspired a comic book series ‘Wonder Woman ’77′ set within the show’s continuity.
The role remains Carter’s main claim to fame, but she has worked steadily since, both in live action acting, voice acting for countless animated and video game projects and as a touring singer. The entire time, Carter, a former Miss World USA– who doesn’t appear to have aged more than a year since leaving the role– has continued to embrace the character, that for which she stands and of course, the still devoted fanbase.
“Wonder Woman taught women to be who you are. I have received the greatest letters from people telling me what an inspiration she was to them because she represents an inner strength every woman has… To honor Wonder Woman and women all over the world is just amazing.”

I question the timing- didn’t the author come out recently and claim that Wonder Woman was a lesbian, of course? (Or had lesbian experiences on her “amazonian” island?)
Never trust the UN for any reason at all. The New York Times is more honorable, for Pete’s sake.
Also something called boning which is sewn into the seams of the fabric.
Looks something like this...

Beautiful lady, but married a bigtime DC Democrat hack, and has become one herself. She and the U.N. should get along swimmingly.
Greg Rucka, one of the writers of DC Comics’ newly launched “Wonder Woman: Rebirth” series, says the heroine is a lesbian.
Clearly, there have been many, many theories through the years surrounding the the world’s most popular female superhero, her Amazonian roots, and her sexuality. Now, Rucka is confirming that that Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, has had sexual and romantic relationships with women.
“It’s supposed to be paradise,” Rucka told Comicosity.com of Wonder Woman’s secluded Amazon island home. “You’re supposed to be able to live happily. You’re supposed to be able — in a context where one can live happily, and part of what an individual needs for that happiness is to have a partner — to have a fulfilling, romantic and sexual relationship. And the only options are women.”
Of course, it’s not as cut and dry as simply calling Wonder Woman a lesbian, the writer explained. While on the island, we would call her a lesbian, but they wouldn’t categorize it as so. He prefers to refer to the character as “queer.”
“An Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, ‘You’re gay.’ They don’t. The concept doesn’t exist,” he said. “Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As [comic book artist Nicola Scott] and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes.”
For this new iteration of Wonder Woman, Rucka strays from previous versions of her story to say that she didn’t leave her home because she fell in love with Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s primary love interest.
“She doesn’t leave because of Steve,” Rucka said. “She leaves because she wants to see the world and somebody must go and do this thing. And she has resolved it must be her to make this sacrifice.”
Though she’d be categorized as lesbian thus far in the comics, Rucka doesn’t count out a future romantic relationship with Steve Trevor.
This new take on Wonder Woman’s sexuality drops as DC preps its new Wonder Woman movie franchise for a June 2017 launch.

The author? LOL! You are kidding me! William Moulton Marston died in 1947!
You are thinking of Anne Rice and her vampire stories..she did say some of hers were gay.
Check out my post 25, if you haven't already seen it.
Post 25 is what I was thinking of. I should have known it wasn’t the original author, but a neo-cisqueer whatever the heck passes for “talent” these days. My apologies to Mr. Marston’s memory.
United Nations Declares Oct. 21 ‘Wonder Woman Day’ And Lynda Carter Will Be There!
Again the UN tackling the major issues of the day as usual. Wars all over the world, terrorism running rampant and this is what their concerns are. What a great body.
USA out of the UN and the UN out of America is the only answer to this sophistry.
On August 3, 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist Party member, testified under subpoena before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that Hiss had secretly been a Communist while in federal service. Chambers had previously testified under oath that Hiss had never been a Communist or a spy, and Chambers would admit, under oath, to other instances where he had committed perjury under oath. Called before HUAC, Hiss categorically denied the charge. When Chambers repeated his claim on nationwide radio, Hiss filed a defamation lawsuit against him.
During the pretrial discovery process, Chambers produced new evidence indicating that he and Hiss had been involved in espionage, which both men had previously denied under oath to HUAC.
A federal grand jury indicted Hiss on two counts of perjury; Chambers admitted to the same offense but, as a cooperating government witness, was never charged.
Although Hiss's indictment stemmed from the alleged espionage, he could not be tried for that crime because the statute of limitations had expired."
New York Times
April 11, 1997
"Mayor Giuliani, who said the international body was on the verge of becoming a laughingstock, began talking half-seriously about the fancy hotels and apartment buildings that could be built on the site if United Nations members carried through on their threats to leave.
Speaking to a group of reporters in his office, he said: "They are making a little bit of a joke out of the U.N. by threatening to take a parking violations case to the World Court. It was not put together by treaty to argue out special-interest parking situations for diplomats."
Instead of settling wars and resolving human rights violations, he said, the institution was "defining diplomacy down" by arguing about parking tickets.
Mr. Giuliani was no kinder to the State Department, which just last month, in a public ceremony, signed an agreement with the city to force diplomats to pay their parking tickets on the threat of removing their plates. With State Department officials now seeking to remove the teeth from that agreement, the Mayor accused them of cowering to overblown United Nations threats to leave the United States over the parking rules, and said the diplomats’ bluff should be called.
"If they’d like to leave New York over parking tickets, then we can find another use for that area of town," he said. "It happens to be just about the most valuable real estate in the world, not just in the United States. That is enormously valuable real estate, and with the vacancy rates that exist in the city of New York, can you imagine what we could do with that?"
In case anyone thought he was bluffing, he had city lawyers check the United Nations lease to determine who gets the riverfront property if the institution leaves town.
(Answer: the Federal Government could use it; if it did not want it, the city would have next crack.)..."
Bobby Jo and the Outlaw is a movie you MUST SEE if you appreciate Lynda’s,...um... assets.
The mention of Lynda Carter and boning has totally ruined my concentration for the day.
Carter’s husband is a big dem a-hole. Can’t recall his name at the moment, but I remember him being grilled in some govt hearings along with Clark Clifford. Is that the right name? Anyone remember?

"45 Communist Goals", as per "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Robert Altman. A real Dem sleaze. BCCI scandal.
January 10, 1963:
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
Maybe that is part of the title “Wonder”
Oh yes .......!
