!THE FUCKiNG MONKEY ON YOUR BACK!

Comic books are Fabulous

so here’s some other characters i wouldn’t have minded DC turning gay when they announced a “major character” would be coming out. 

if you don’t already know who the “major character” is, it’s alan scott. the original green lantern. who’s used as a backup character when a writer is out of stories. and is currently a minor character in a minor comicbook that’s starting next month.

Victor Stone - Cyborg definitely my first choice..they got rid of J’onn from the Justice League lineup to make room for him. He’s been set up to be a more important character than ever before, he’s had barely any love interests beyond Sarah Simms who hasn’t shown her face since 2010 (and they weren’t even together) and since it’s the New 52 she might not have ever even existed. So there’s the most obvious and best choice.

Batman - Dick Grayson Dick’s awesome. And so is his thing .. whatever it is with Barbara.. but DC never seem to have acted on that so I can’t personally see the loss. He’s been around the block but has never had a girlfriend that’s lasted more than a few issues. Starfire, Donna Troy (who I never actually liked but meh she stuck round) and Chyenne Freemont who’s an unknown and has vanished since… I suppose Tarantula was a good one and I thought they’d be interesting together but then she said he raped her..so that kinda puts a stop to both his relationship with her and his gay career. The only major problem I think with making Dick gay would be all the “Batman’s gay” crap that would come about after it

Cartar Hall - Hawkman where’s Hawkwoman at these days?

Jimmy Olsen okay so maybe he’s not a “main character” but he’s a hell of a lot more main and known to the general public than alan scott. Supporting characters play just as big a role in a comic as the main character a lot of the time and why not Jimmy? He’s ginger, too! The ultimate role model for social outcasts.

Jackson Hyde - Aqualad I just don’t see the harm. He hasn’t even appeared yet in the New 52 but he’s slated for it in the next few months. He’s badass and he’s black. He’s so badass he uses electric whips UNDER WATER. 

Blue Beetle - Jaime Reyes Another really good choice in my opinion. Let me see… foreign ✔ charismatic ✔ cool ✔ the closest thing DC has to an independent teenage rolemodel ✔ Jaime Reyes is only beginning to get properly explored as a character now. He was such a good opportunity missed! I can’t see turning him gay would have been a huge spanner in the works (see what i did there?). He’s the best choice if they wanted to actually be dangerous. Though from the choice they chose…seems that danger was the last thing on their minds.
