Just dont:<BR/><BR/>1) have a previously straight character become gay<BR/>2) introduce a character as gay because I don't want to hear about it<BR/>3) ever mention that they are gay<BR/><BR/>So I guess this just leaves the Larry Craig kind of gay.

He's early to mid-30s, which I think is more or less where you're at.<BR/><BR/>To be pedantic, the use of "teh," a deliberate misspelling for "the," is to suggest how contemptibly stupid an opponent's views are. It's the keyboard equivalent of throwing in a "duh" when mimicking someone in a spoken argument. I think Atrios uses it for a few other topics, but "teh gay" is the most common.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674760416181000160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-25559978883454719402007-12-03T21:08:00.000-05:002007-12-03T21:08:00.000-05:00Once again, your play-by-play makes an otherwise u...Once again, your play-by-play makes an otherwise unbearable bit of nonsense entertaining.Dean Trippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747690659717758337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-26509736681155713872007-12-03T19:48:00.000-05:002007-12-03T19:48:00.000-05:00"Oh, that's just me using current Internet lingo t..."Oh, that's just me using current Internet lingo to sound far cooler and younger than I really am."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Ah.

I don't like it because I really liked the Vic Sage Question (who was experiencing a new surge of popularity due to the JLU cartoon) and it felt like he was sacrified just to make Montoya, a Rucka "pet-character" who lost the book she starred in a bit ago, relevant again. <BR/><BR/>All that said, though, anyone who thinks Rucka or Heinberg are using their books as soapboxes for "the gay agenda" is just completely delusional. Winnick...well, I wouldn't say subtlety is his strongest suit at times, but he handled the gay teen in Green Lantern very well and only really went soapboxxy with Green Arrow, who has really been a soapboxxy character since the O'Neill/Adams days. He's not a favorite writer of mine, that that has more to do with what I deem as his overall lack of talent than the incorporation of his viewpoints into his work.Jaded Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374966566406197136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-7455510273034450572007-12-03T18:41:00.000-05:002007-12-03T18:41:00.000-05:00O.S.

He doesn't want gay characters to be gay and nothing else (of course, I'm purposely forgetting the portions in which he basically says he just doesn't want gays in his comics). I would tend to agree. A character who is developed no further than a defining trait (sexuality, skin color) is hardly a character at all. I would disagree with his assessment that Hulkling and Wiccan fall into the category of "gay and gay only," but then, I'm not as blatantly homophobic as he appears to be. However, I do see some of that in Batwoman, who basically only showed up for the media blitz and has been used for little if anything since the conclusion of 52. <BR/><BR/>-MMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910006954704396801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-8122716111816401012007-12-03T16:22:00.000-05:002007-12-03T16:22:00.000-05:00I submit that comics fans, on balance, are sociall...I submit that comics fans, on balance, are socially reactionary.<BR/><BR/>There.

He wasn’t grossed out about any of it, which was good. However, I was quite surprised when he asked me how gay people had sex. He wasn’t looking for a Daddy loves Daddy answer. So, I told him…the place where “poopie” comes out. He thought that was gross. “Nuff said”."<BR/><BR/>He obviously has a well-adjusted, moral centered child. I think that dude should show his kid porn for better illustration. Or better yet, "hey little Timmy, why don't you sit in the corner while me and your mom go at it?" <BR/><BR/>I'm a heterosexual male who has never been known to turn down sex, but I'm pretty sure at 9, I wouldn't be going "oh man, THIS IS AWESOME!!!" at the mechanics of ANY sex, gay or straight. Seriously, to a 9-year-old, it's all pretty gross.
