    Hey I'm gay too and I don't think this is such a bad idea...I'm a little skeptic about it but anyways lets see how its done. It could be good, or a piece of crap hehe. I just wouldn't like a stereotyped gay or something like that. Anyways I like the idea, shows how open minded people can be hehe. Now let's see all the gay bashing comments rain...sad.

    Homosexual superheroes are not new. The Authority is a pretty popular title, and Apollo and Midnighter are a gay couple.

    Omg, I am against this. I guess they feel it is needed, but come on. I am gay, and speaking for the gay community, I feel this is unnecessary.
