Is Superman Gay?

Beyond the Advocate cover, which features the film's star, Brandon Routh, in costume, industry blogs such as the Defamer website, which has become the online show business bible for many young industry executives, have been as obsessed with "Superman's" gay appeal as Britney Spears' parenting skills and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's new baby girl.

Defamer has posted a number of stories on how gay the "Superman Returns" posters and Topps trading cards make the character look, particularly in one trading card showing Superman literally coming out of a closet. "If Warner Bros. marketing partners like Topps aren't even going to bother pretending, why should we?" Defamer asked. "Be proud, our fabulously caped little Queer-El."

Warner Bros. declined to comment. But the studio is reaching out to some gay moviegoers. Warners has bought "Superman Returns" advertising time on Logo, a year-old digital cable channel in 20 million homes that calls itself "the channel for Gay America."

Eggs, I didn't know you did poster work for Warner Bros...
 
They think us nellies will follow little Bryan Singer around wherever he goes. And that we'll flock to see any buff guy in tights doing anything.

Oh wait, we will. HAHA THEY SURE WASTED THAT AD MONEY!!11
 
Oh... kay... I foresee a time when conservatism has become popular again, turning the character of Archie Bunker into a hero. And then they'll retcon Archie Bunker and make him gay. And then the ghost of Carroll O'Connor will rise from his grave and annihilate the human race in revenge. And things will finally be right again.

Just because it calls itself Conservatism don't mean it IS Conservatism, and just 'cause it's got the spotlight don't mean the audience is applauding.
 
And just for the record, I don't mind the idea of a gay superhero or a lesbian superheroine. It's fine by me. Just... y'know... fuckin' make your own. Quit fuckin' retconning everybody's childhood heroes, or we'll make the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Xena the Warrior Princess and Willow from Buffy The Vampire Strumpet straight and see how yooouuuu like that shit. :rwmad:

Yeah! Stop.... re-writing...er... history... um nevermind.
 
It was just more of his 'humor,' I think. You know, 'pretending' to not be able to make distinctions between 2 very different things.
 
This is just yet another case of the media trying to graft qualities of its current "darlings" onto a property that's big enough to get them some attention.

I listened in on a meeting at Gay HQ:

Gay guy 1:"So listen, guys, things just aren't the same with Sex and the City and Will and Grace gone. We need something new. I mean sure, yeah, there's Bravo, but that's cable. We need something more mainstream."

Gay guy 2: "Hey, I have an idea: Superman!"

Gay guy 3: "What about him?"

Gay guy 2: "Let's start convincing the media that they should start convincing the sheep that Superman's gay! Duh, it's all right there!"

Gay guy 3: "Look, we're all gay here, okay? But Superman? That's a bit of stretch."

Gay guy 1: "Let's do it! The new move will be coming out soon, and Singer is gay! This is perfect!"

You see what I'm getting at here.

I'm not bashing gays here, please understand. I'm just saying that the elements of the media that want to continue perpetuating stereotypical token images of minorities will latch on to anything that can give them attention. I interviewed a gay guy for an assignment once, and he was pissed off by the feminine portrayal of gay guys and the fact that it's "in" now to suggest that everyone is either gay or would be better off being gay.

The Man of Steel is not gay. He nailed Lois numerous times, after all.
 
Not to mention nailing Lori Lemaris. I don't know why, but that's a fantasy of mine: nailing a mermaid. That's assuming that the fish parts down south can also turn into chick parts.

Otherwise, you have a situation like Fry did in that episode of Futurama when they went to sunken Atlanta and his hot mermaid bride wanted him to fertilize her newly-laid eggs.

Maybe it's just that mermaids are pretty hot above the waist. I don't know.
 
Superman is not gay. He screwed Lois Lane for goodness sake. Gay people only WISH Superman was gay because he wears those blue tights, and his Froot of the Loom undie's on the outside. If one wants to make a real argument over who is a gay super hero, pick Wonder Woman. Think about it. An island full of amazonian women and no men allowed. Hmmm...
 
That and the Lasso of Truth, which originally was part of a set that included Padded Manacles of Dare, the Ribbed Rod of Reeducation, the Burning Bush of Victory, and the Bustier of Overflowing Bounty.
