This is what happens when you dare to be gay in comic books.

PS I didn’t know Batwoman was a lesbian. Corey - want to weigh in on this?

    Ahhh….helloooo?! Of course Batwoman is gay.
    Hot Lesbian Superheros (HLS) is the whole reason to red comics. Don’t you agree?
    Since I am not a long-time reader of comics (it’s a New Love), I can’t speak to all the horror that Harper’s has listed there (except to say I’m not surprised), but the relatively new series from DC, 52, has gay sub-plots aplenty (ok, 1).

    But! Apollo and Midnighter were married and adopted a daughter! And Midnighter had two hearts, so getting one of them ripped out (and, incidentally, replaced with a bomb) was no big deal. So it’s not all gore and gang-rapes for homosexual heroes. Though turning the Green Latern straight was pretty evil.

    In related gay comic news, check out Queen of Diamonds.
