Oh what fun stuff I found today.
"Queer Women in Webcomics" - looks like Queer webcomics are less than 1% of all webcomics out there, good thing or bad thing?
"'Man of feel' may save us from endemic homophobia" , looks like it wasn't enough for Superman's canadian origins to come up (again), but he has now become a posterboy for the gay community. Oh and, Superman returns is now in theatres today.

Personally, I'd think 2, but it seems that most of these articles focus on 1...Â
Both are equally important,
Gay is the new Black
To tell the truth, I'm none too happy with the explosion of gay characters in comics.
It reminds me of an earlier explosion of Asian characters in comics, or an even earlier explosion of Black characters: Just another sub culture to romanticize/ fetishize that will eventually get dropped for another pseudo-taboo.Â
