Cool! We need more gay super-characters... Pied Piper, Northstar, and Maggie Sawyer alone aren't cutting it. Unless, of course, you meant "gay" as a dubious synonym for "bad"... :-p
No, I meant "gay" as a synonym for "flaming homosexual."
The only way live action Flash could have looked gayer if his costume was pink, not red.
And there could stand to be a few more gays in comics...as long as they're not written by Steve Englehart in NEW GUARDIANS. My Swan, "Estrano" was an embarassing stereotype to all involved. Did you know "Estrano" is Spanish for "Queer?" And then there was the way he insisted on being called "Auntie."
NEW GUARDIANS was the closest Englehart ever came to compromising his own great legacy.
Steve's collective apology to the gay community was in the pages of STRANGERS...if you'd like to read about an interesting gay superhero story, check out that one. It was done with dignity and intelligence, everything NEW GUARDIANS didn't have. There was one subplot about his boyfriend dying of AIDS that was especially tragic.
