A Gay Superhero Is Nothing New
|
The internet is buzzing with the news that Stan Lee is developing the first gay superhero – Thom Creed – a high-school basketball player who is forced to hide his sexuality as well as his superpowers. But all the news sites seem to missing out on one important piece of information. Creed will only be the first gay superhero on TV in a show for the US cable channel Showtime. However, there have been Spandex-clad superpowered homosexuals in comics for years. And no, we’re not just talking about all those unsubstantiated rumours about Batman and Robin stripping down to their utility belts and snogging in the Batcave between adventures. There have been a number of genuine, loud and proud gay and lesbian superheroes from Marvel and DC. Click here to start your brief history of gay superheroes with Northstar |

It had him in bright pink spandex with a large handlebar moustache - not cliched or insulting at all *rolls eyes*

Whatever the system they use to generate their webpages from their webserver will more than likely have limited the number of characters available.
I know this internet lark is a bit mindblowing, but really, try to keep some perspective...
