DC Comics plans to reintroduce a character as gay, comic blog BleedingCool.com reports.
DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio announced the plans over the weekend at Kapow Comic Convention in London, saying that the existing superhero who was previously assumed to be straight will be "one of our most prominent gay characters." He did not specify in which issue the reveal will occur.
President Barack Obama: Same-sex couples should be able to get married
The news comes a year after DiDio told The Advocate that he only intends to introduce new characters in the DC universe as gay rather than make existing ones gay. Of the change in plans, DC Comics Senior VP Bob Wayne told BleedingCool.com that DiDio's view "has evolved," echoing President Barack Obama's recent endorsement of same-sex marriage.

Or maybe it's both of them?
It won't be Aquaman. He's too useless to be of interest.
Hey! Where’s “Y”?
hehehehehehe...
Is he going to lick every bad man?
I think Green Arrow is with JLA heroine, Black Canary.
that whole spandex tights thing going on
Plus, Batman and Robin??? Not to mention The Lone Ranger and Tonto or Red Rider and Little Beaver. Come on now. I haven’t picked up a comic book in sixty years but the old jokes remain the same although now they’re not PC.
Oh, they meant homosexual !
A 'male' character that chooses the deviance of anal sex with another 'male' in defiant negation of their innate biology.

REFUSE the Orwellian usurpation of OUR language by those who would destroy our culture !
This is something every one of us can do in ALL our interactions with others !
At the end of the day, your conscience will know whether you've made the effort.

Ya got me there. Comic books as a ‘gateway drug’ to actual literature. Hadn’t thought of that.
Seems promising...
DC is just following Marvel's lead... and I'm not talking about Spiderman here.
Did he/she/it die of AIDS, or some other STD?
Perhaps he was stabbed 237 times because his lover didn't want paisley drapes?
He jumped off the Golden Gate because every time a Same Sex Marriage law has come up for an actual vote by the PEOPLE, it's been hammered down?
Lol. Crazy cartoon.
And now you see their target. See Jimmy, buggering is safe, natural, and even Captain Ass-pirate is doing it.
Homos used to troll around public restrooms and the playground looking to give young boys some candy and a ride home.....now they write their comic books.
Problem with that is that it’s always been okay for women to set foot on Wonder Woman’s Amazon home island. Men, though, cause all the women to fall in love with them if they just even set one foot on the island’s shore. (Princess Diana lifted Trevor out of the water after his plane crashed and carried him above the actual ground, so the only one that got “enchanted” in that manner was her.)
I nominate Chastity Bono....
Sorry Sarge, but in case you haven’t noticed, comic book culture has risen to prominence in pop culture. Look at the success of the Avengers at the box office breaking record after record.
