Gay Superhero

I've been reading a lot of comments about this photo. I guess it is to be expected but I just don't feel like shutting up about it.

There are posts where you can see "why don't they just create another character who's gay?"
Or "my childhood is ruined!"
[oh c'mon, stop quoting other people and come up with a better line..]

In my belief,
maybe there are cons as well but that ONLY DEPENDS ON THE READER,
maybe it does ruin the image you've always believed them to be.
However, what does making them gay affect anything?
It's not like they're going to be sunflower costumed elves or anything.
Just like real life, does telling you "I'm gay" is going to change anything?
I'm who I am since the first time I met you, and I still am the same person.

In addition,
this is a comic, the writer should be able to express whatever he wants.
In a way, maybe he does write comics for people for their entertainment,
but he should be able to express what HE wants.

They're still the same super heroes anyways,
of course I'm in no right position to predict how the storyline goes,
since it's another person's work.

Now,
let's look at the gay community's view of point (more like mine),
For the minority,
it's helping the society to understand that gays and lesbians cannot be stereotyped.
We can be buffed up, beautiful, masculine and feminine, and it has nothing to do with sexuality at all.

Instead,
If a character was created JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING HIM GAY,
you'll see the end results of that.

People will start to call him sunshine man
and if it's a female heroine, she'll be Sadist woman
and laugh at people who are struggling through life just for YOUR acceptance.
Not to mention, boycotting the character entirely.

Speaking of which,
there are two famous actors in the media who're gay,
well, lots more, but I don't wanna make a full list of it.
and I'm wondering if people are fussing over them.

Hmm...
"SUITE UP!"
What does that remind you of?
