No! Not Bouncing Boy. He is I believe the FIRST Legionairre to get married. I don’t remember if she was still Triplicate Girl or had already been pared down to Duo Damsel. Based on his choice for a mate, he might have some strange proclivities, but DEFINITELY not homosexual.
The idea is to generate controversy, attention & sales for a dying hobby. So, a B-list character will work just fine (like when Marvel made Northstar gay. Who? Exactly).
The formula is really quite simple. The success, however, is never guaranteed.
didn’t they already do that with an alternate universe Spiderman?
How to kill off a franchise 101....
do they not remember “Alpha Flight”?
Even Bouncing Boy married a girl!
If Superman(the Man of Steel) turns out to be gay a lot of the comic book dialog from other characters will be “my butt hurts”
It will certainly make “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive” have a new meaning.
It could be Robin, the boy wonder
Or Ant Man? I don't think anyone would really care.
If he married Triplicate Girl, would that make him a polygamist, or just a lucky guy?
Phew! Whatta relief!

There is no conceivable way he could be “genetically predisposed” to want to have sex with male humans — any attraction he has to humans has to be because of his environment. You might as well talk about being “gay” because you’d rather have sex with male sheep than female horses.
They’ll also have trouble explaining why a gay clark kent seemed so unnaturally attracted to lois lane.
Who other hen the perverts would allow their kids to read this crap.
The homo facists will really start pressing their agenda with Obama coming out backing their perversions...
“They’ll also have trouble explaining...”
If one thing rewrites history better and more frequently than a Democrat, it’s the Comic Book industry.
Have you forgotten Super Dog and Super Horse?
"Wiillburrrr, is that you?"
I guess there is Bizarro as well.
I’m guessing it’s Green Arrow. After all, his real identity is Oliver Queen.

No way. Messes with the whole Lois Lane thing. Probably some little known, but still recognizable character.
