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 its more complicated though. This is inherently the problem with Diana: weve 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. Its the Amazons. Theyre 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.
Its supposed to be paradise. Youre supposed to be able to live happily. Youre 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 doesnt look at another Amazon and say, Youre gay. They dont. The concept doesnt 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 forthe 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).
Their aim is to demoralize...

"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.
Because a strong woman could never be straight....
Stupid
Linda Carter is bisexual? What part of her is bi. I sure can’t see anything but one sex represented and very well indeed.
Lucy Lawless remains hot to this day. I assume she’s a lib.
Really sick demented people.
Wonder Woman is not a real person. Doesn’t anyone get that ?
BTW, Lucy was bi or lez on Xena, Spartacus and Ash vs Evil Dead. At some point, it does have to make you wonder.
I was kind of interested in seeing suicide squad. was.
Within ten years I doubt the United States will exist. Multi nation states yes, but a United States?
No.
None of this filth helps bind a nation. Its yet another tiny wedge of countless wedges that separate the peoples of a nation.
In the end a billion fractions in the foundation of any civilization bring the civilization to an end.
#15 is happening unless Trump wins...the Communist Party got control of the Democrat Party...
Liberals, FICTIONAL CHARACTERS can not be sexual, since they can't have sex. Libs, unlike your world (pure fantasy where cartoons are sexualized by you guys), conservatives are looking at real life.
It doesn’t matter if they’re cartoon or fictional characters. They still play a role in shaping kids’ minds. If they see their favorite super hero doing some degenerate thing they are more likely to think the behavior is normal and acceptable.
It’s no wonder!!!
It’s no wonder!!!
I hate to break it to these guys, but Wonder Woman isn’t real.
WB/DC won’t care. They’ll just make gay superhero movies for the Chinese.
Wonder Woman was actually created by a bondage freak who was in a polyamorous marriage with two women. That is why in the early comics Wonder Woman was always getting tied up by bad guys. True story.
Idiotic. This desire to use all media as tools of propaganda is disgusting.
75 years of comics, not a single hint of anything, then suddenly some exec or writer decides, I know, lets pander a bit... and make this character XXX... nonsense.
DC was finally starting to get its feet back under itself after the disaster that was the New 52 with the Rebirth, and now they are going down this route?? Someone at WB needs fired.
This is terrible to take a children’s comic hero and turn her into a homosexual because it seems to be popular right now. Why can’t you slugs leave the children alone to grow up unadulterated?
