The “organization” One Million Moms — actually some dudes on Facebook who hate homosexuality with an astonishingly acute blazing hatred and get money from a SPLC-designated hate group to pursue their all-consuming hatred that’s garnered such incredible success — has decided that the comics industry has crossed a bright line by revealing the gayitude of several characters. And that one of them, with the not-gay name of Northstar, will marry.
In the comics!
And we’re not just talking about Kevin Keller in the lame Archie comic. No, these are superheroes the “moms” are upset about.
The notoriously anti-gay group that bills itself as One Million Moms, but in reality has only about 47,000 supporters judging by its Facebook page, is now targeting Marvel and DC Comics over their announcements to introduce and marry gay characters in their mainstream comics.
The moms find the homosexuals-in-comics trend shocking:
Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, “I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?”
Yes.
Yes, I can.
What say you other 953,000 “moms,” anyway? Are you really cool with this? If these 47,000 FB-likers have the same success for the get-gays-out-of-comics that they got with JCPenney against Ellen DeGeneres and with SGKomen Foundation against Planned Parenthood, we’re likely to see mandatory same-sex marriage in every comic book.
Do you 953,000 really want to be on the hook for that?
Slow your roll, turbo. Your success has gone to your heads.

Alyssa Rosenberg has an opinion:
“Homophobia is more pronounced in individuals with an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex and who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires, a series of psychology studies demonstrates.”
What is it that motivates so many Americans to take such an unnatural interest in regulating the sex lives of their fellow citizens?
Don’t you know? It’s against “nature!” You rot in purgatory, take your pick…blah blah blah. Whatever.
People like Santorum who exhibit an obsession with the mechanics of specific same-sex sexual acts always mystify me. As a gay man, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about penis-in-vagina sex. Why do haters dwell with such specificity on the actual sex acts they claim we’re always recruiting others into?
I do not get it.
What’s really against ‘nature’ is homophobia. Homosex occurs among thousands of species, but only ours has members who so vociferously object to it.

That’s really cool!
Glad you are back Teddy ☺ ☺
Mom of a Disney princess movie loving 5 year old girl here! Her view of marriage is, of course, colored by those movies (for better or worse, pardon the pun). My husband’s aunt and her long time partner recently tied the knot in NY, and my daughter heard us talking about how awesome a party it was going to be, etc. She asked who they were marrying, and I said, “each other.” She thought about that for a moment and gave me a quizzical look. I said, “sometimes two men or two women fall in love and get married.” And she smiled and said, “cool!” She loves her aunties and wasn’t fazed at all by my explanation. A very gratifying moment for me and my husband!
American exceptionalism and it’s preservation.
Visualization to attack.
Yay!
“…and a little child shall lead them.”
As a straight female (grandmother!) with gay/lesbian friends, including two male couples who are married, I don’t spend any time thinking about what those couples do in the bedroom, nor do I spend any time thinking about what my straight married opposite-sex couples do in the bedroom. I fail to understand why anyone who has had any kind of sex is at all curious about others’ sex lives. It seems like something I left behind in my teens.
Well, Teddy, maybe they’re just perverts. A million mommy perverts.
Honestly, if all someone is doing is Thinking About IT, sex seems kinda gross. . .I mean, absent the feelings (which must remain absent to be just Thinking About IT), who would want to do it? Remove all the erotic (also a requirement in this genre) and the passion, and, well, ewww. To prognosticate as is a requirement of this absolute, also, how would one live life having sex for procreation and nothing else?
I think this has to be the baseline for the young who have long abandoned the foolishness of the haters. Hardly anyone lives the way this thought pattern dictates. It is a losing game, everyone knows it but them.
Revealed!
It’s Green Lantern, the original, Alan Scott:
47,340 perverts
They obviously don’t know the history of Sparta.
And Teddy, the Green Lantern has come out! Or he will in the next issue!
