Marvel posted this page from the Young Avengers a few minutes ago, and I definitely regret looking through the comments. Needless to say, they made me borderline physically ill.
Do these homophobic jerks not realize that comic books are laced with LGBT metaphors and have been for years now? Moreover, there are already established gay superheros already in certain comic books. Just because Tom, for example, couldn’t read between the lines doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
Yes, kids read comic books. So? It isn’t like kids today haven’t seen a gay person in media or in life. Too taboo? You know what is taboo to me? Half the stupid viewpoints that people feel the need to post above.
