Re: Comic book heroes
Sexuality isn't a choice - it's just the way you are. (For most people, anyway.)
I have less of a problem with a gay superhero than with glorification of bad traits for which the viewer does have a choice. For example, the disregard for human life in pursuit of personal gain which is prevalent in almost every film. I'm not suggesting everyone is turned into a sociopath by watching Wanted or whatever - but if people believe that the weak-minded can be affected by what they see in their entertainment media, maybe there are more productive areas for their effort than worrying about the offpage antics of where the Green Lantern's willy goes when it's not under his lycra underpants.
