    Let's see what the readership looks like in a few weeks after the homos stop buying them to prop up sales.

    Earth 2 isn't popular like Batman. Had they made Batman gay I think that even the progressive fanboys would have been secretly angry--in fact, that's the word down at the shop. I don't care who it is as long as its not Bats.

    Its hypocritical. They would have sold out Wonderwoman and Catwoman being lesbian lovers, but you touch Batman...

    Anyway, they won't go under. There will be people that buy it to help support it.

    That section of the shop is indeed full. I'm old school, a Thor fan. Probably because that was the first one my dad bought me. So, having Chris Hemsworth as Thor made me extremely happy.

    ...I don't think this is pushing anything on us, it's just someone trying to be PC...Ellen Degenerate pushes gayness on us when brings her own sexuality into her show or brings on a gay teen and talks about how "heroic" gay kids are for going through what they go through...this?...I wouldn't even know about it if you didn't post this...

    How is Ellen pushing anything on us again? She talks about her life and she happens to be gay. She also revels in the relationships of heterosexuals, too. She's the only one who can get dirt out of Pitt.

    and again.... this entire concept of things being "pushed" on us against our will is pretty moronic. Are the people on the Home SHopping Network "pushing" cubic zirconiums on you against your will? If you don't have the will to push the button on the remote or to put the comic book down, you really have much greater problems than merely being exposed to too much "gayness".

    Well..."push" has a sort of connotation to it. In a way, there is marketing to provide heterosexuals with the knowledge that gays are like everyone else and that there is nothing to fear from them. Yes, I see this, but I guess where I'm coming from is: what's wrong with that?

    What's wrong with depicting your neighbor as just...your neighbor as opposed to some guy with a well in the middle of his house where he keeps women he's about to skin?

    ...this is actually the only post I've seen from that wasn't emotional garbage...there's a guy up here that killed his wife and kids and then killed himself...happening a lot lately...but his brother is saying he didn't do it even though all the evidence points to it...brother still says he didn't do it...kind of like the Trayvon case, Trayvon didn't do anything inspite of the evidence to the contrary...when you are in the hole with someone you can't separate from the issue and make a fair assessent of the situation...are gays evil?...I wouldn't say so...but the thing that bothers me about it is what other doors are they (liberals) going to open?...that's my concern...but the gay supporters can't get out of the hole with the gays...

    Pushing? Don't buy it.

    OMG! Problem solved.

    Pushing would be if they kept knocking on your door and forcing you to listen to them, you know, like religions do.

    People do go door to door for equality. In Maine right now people are going from door to door canvassing about gay marriage and handing out materials. Is that "pushing"?

    http://equalitymaine.org/about/current-staff-openings

    I think that is talking, but if it's pushing stuff on people by knocking on doors to ask people if they want to talk about something I wonder how we would ever communicate with strangers at all lest we be pushing ourselves on them.

    The gay movement is promoted by the elites, its part of their agenda, for family breakdown and population control. They have been working on it for decades, for example just look at the soft sell in the sit-coms over the last few decades. First they start making little jokes to bring awareness, then they bring gay characters in to act more serious, then they bring in the ideas of discrimination, then they bring in special protected status, then they start demonizing the basic moral values of old America as the enemy of all. ETC

    Not quite, now we have to look at it coming down the street and in stores.



    Line of Target T-shirts to support gay pride



    Two years after a brouhaha erupted over its support of a group backing Tom Emmer, the Republican gubernatorial candidate who opposed gay marriage, Target Corp. has launched an online charitable partnership supporting gay pride.

    The Minneapolis-based discounter says the two aren't related -- it has partnered with the Washington, D.C.-based Family Equality Council, which supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families, for more than a decade.

    "I certainly recognize what an incredible reaction [the Emmer-related donation] generated," said Jennifer Chrisler, the council's executive director. "But here's what I know about Target and their work with us: They're 100 percent committed to the goal of families being respected in all communities including parents who happen to be LGBT. This is just a continuation of that support."

    Yep, every time I goto Angels stadium, I have to look at the kiss cam on the big board and watch you breeders kiss.

    Why do heterosexuals insist on shoving their sexuality down my throat?

    ...so all we need to do is turn away from you and your kind but you can't do the same to us?...instead of corrupting a baseball game, go to a pride parade for god's sake and stay away from mainstream "nohomo" activities...

    LOL!

    Linda Carter was fine, as were Charlie's Angels. And Daisy Duke.

    But she wasn't enough to make me actually like Wonder Woman as a character.

    All you have to do is not buy the comic book.

    But you cant do that can you? You have to buy the comic only so you can (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) about it right?

    Keep your homophobia to yourself.

    Because the point is to have a hero who happens to be gay, just like other heroes happen to be hetero.

    A lot of people who are uncomfortable with gays have this same attitude -- that somehow "being gay" means everything has to/should be *about* being gay.

    All gays want is the right to be themselves, just like heteros, without it being an issue.

    I think the whole thing is silly to begin with. The only way to tell if someone is truly gay is if they admit it, or if you see some sort of sexual contact between that person and the other. I don't see how being gay is in any way relative to a story that can be told in a comic book.. Unless we turn it in to some kind of sleezy daytime soap with drama.. Maybe the bad guy is mad because the Green Lantern stole his boyfriend?? Not sure how they are going to fit this into the plot.. but I just don't see why they feel the need to do this in a comic book.

    I think gays have been in the closet for so long and now that it's been shown that many of the people we admired are/were gay, they feel they can now come out in the open. Now many feel duty bound to pay society back by pushing their gayness on the society that once shunned them.

    Superheroes have boyfriends/girlfriends. Wives/husbands. It will come up one way or the other.

    Plus, by recognizing gays exist, comics can address issues they've been pretending don't exist for decades. Would have been kind of cool if a superhero had swooped in and saved a Matthew Shepard - type victim. But comics at the time were busy pretending gays didn't exist.

    They've had things like that, tho. Comics have been very progressive as far as media is concerned. It's only the people who don't read them that think they haven't been.

    DC's announcement was a huge joke and actually a slap in the face to gays. They made a huge hype out of it only to make it a character within a character series that is an "alternate" verse.

    I mean, they were able to change the storyline to make him gay without screwing with the canon so that's good, but the whole thing is just stupid how they did it.

    For people who think they are "pushing" you're wrong. If they were pushing they would have made a series title about a gay hero, but they didn't. This is not like a Batman came out. That would be pushing it. They folded him into a comic that included other heroes.
