Wonder Woman is Bisexual, DC Comics 'Confirms'
Maxim Magazine ^ | 11 HOURS AGO | Sean Abrams

Posted on 09/29/2016 6:35:36 PM PDT by drewh

In a move that would never have occurred when they created her in the 1940s, DC Comics has declared that their most acclaimed heroine is attracted to both men and women. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Wonder Woman is officially bisexual.

During a candid interview with Comicosity, Wonder Woman comic writer Greg Rucka gave the world confirmation, saying that there is no real concept of gay on the fictional island of Themyscira.

[Y]es, [Wonder Woman is queer]. I think it’s more complicated though. This is inherently the problem with Diana: we’ve had a long history of people — for a variety of reasons, including sometimes pure titillation, which I think is the worst reason — say, “Ooo. Look. It’s the Amazons. They’re gay!”

And when you start to think about giving the concept of Themyscira its due, the answer is, “How can they not all be in same sex relationships?” Right? It makes no logical sense otherwise.

It’s supposed to be paradise. 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.

But an Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, “You’re gay.” They don’t. The concept doesn’t exist.

Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As Nicola and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes.

And it needs to be yes for a number of reasons. But perhaps foremost among them is, if no, then she leaves paradise only because of a potential romantic relationship with Steve [Trevor]. And that diminishes her character. It would hurt the character and take away her heroism. (Photo: DC Entertainment) (Photo: DC Entertainment) Same-sex love interests, whether on screen or on a comic book page, have been the subject of discussion for quite some time, with plenty of focus on ways to keep it hidden. This marks a moment die hard fans have been waiting for—the moment Diana Prince comes out of the closet, just because it makes so much sense.

Leading up to Gal Gadot's take on Wonder Woman, this new perspective in the Wonder Woman: Year One comic should not alter your views of the tough, overtly sexual Amazonian warrior. The reveal won't shift any of the film's emphasis on her love for Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).

More to the point, what does her husband think about this?

Screw this. I can’t believe how culture is being shifted and rewritten by Satan.

But that’s how the commie left operates. They intentionally select people that are appealing to push their degenerate agendas.

The Weather Underground’s Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers’ co-terrorist wife, for example, used to dress in tight miniskirts and high-heeled boots. Of course a lot of horny guys on campus couldn’t care less about the insanity she was spewing when they came out to hear her speak, but some did and joined the movement.

I think Gadot’s husband Yaron Versano might want to know about this

It was a very wholesome comic when I was growing up in the 60s. In the 70s it got into the “flower power”, anti-war stuff a bit.

Why stop there? I wouldn’t be shocked if they had come out and said that Wonder Woman used to be Wonder Man. We know the whole transgender thing is in vogue with the PC crowd today. Sports, comics, and every form of entertainment and leisure is being inundated with this. I’m telling you the American people are just keeping their powder dry against the left. They are making life in America less profitable and enjoyable.

They’ve already changed The Ancient One to a female, so I wouldn’t expect much good to come of the movie version of Dr. Steven Strange...
