Fandom Planet 47: Emergency Session One: Gay DC Character Speculation Episode
Tim and Sax rush into action to try and guess who DC comics is going to out as gay in the next few weeks. Speculations include sgt rock, wildcat, and jerry Lewis, along with the most famous members of the DC Elite. Come with us on a journey of sexual-forensics, laughter, and a lengthy discussion of who counts as “iconic”.
Sax and Tim’s note: Just after we recorded this it was reported that the group “One Million Moms” came out against DC having this or any gay characters and suggested they would boycott the books. In response the folks at Fandom Planet would like to suggest we all buy whatever issue announces the Gay character in record numbers.
Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of, and we support DC in bringing more homosexual characters into everyday comics. From Renee Montoya to Kate Kane to whomever this turns out to be (Plastic Man?) we support them.
Oh and at the end of this episode we talk for a bit about Batgirl: Spoiled (Sax’s new webseires) check it out here: http://bit.ly/BatgirlTeaser
