Title: Superman is gay. Post by: voodoolily on May 24, 2005, 10:25:11 AM (http://www.transbuddha.com/images/uploads/SuperGay.jpg)
According to this interesting synopsis. (http://www.kaos2000.net/soapbox/supermangay.html) Quote SUPERMAN IS GAY by George Sanford | The Weekly World News February 22, 2002 TOPEKA, Kansas - A crackpot clergyman wants to ban all Superman comic books and movies - because he believes the Man of Steel is gay! "We owe it to our children not to expose them to this kind of flamboyant character, flitting around in the air like Tinkerbell," declares the Reverend Clay Blanblood. "Real men do NOT prance around in tights. Who knows how many homosexuals got their start from trying to imitate Superman?" The Topeka-based minister says he reached his bizarre conclusion after pouring over hundreds of Superman comics, movies and TV shows dating back to the 1930s. He cites the following as "evidence" that the beloved superhero is light in his loafers: * He dresses in leotards that show off his muscles "and just about everything else." * He can never marry Lois Lane, they can only be buddies. * He leads a secret double life, "like a closet homosexual," according to the preacher. * He wears a cape. "Maybe y'all know some straight guys who waltz around in red capes - I sure don't," Rev. Blanblood declares. * He colors his hair with blue highlights. * As Clark Kent, he wears glasses even though he doesn't need them. "It's like he's advertising that he's some kind of sissy," the clergyman argues. * He is "overly chummy" with cute young cub reporter Jimmy Olsen. * He often poses with his hands on his hips, "the traditional gay posture." * He has X-ray vision, yet never uses the power to look through women's clothing, "the way any normal, red-blooded American man would," according to the preacher. * He's often seen flying through the air carrying a man he's just rescued - something Rev. Blanblood insists "no heterosexual male would be caught dead doing." This isn't Rev. Blanblood's first foray into popular culture - in the past he's argued the case that Batman and Robin, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Robin Hood, G.I. Joe and even macho characters Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame are also gay. A leading comic book expert calls the preacher's crusade against Superman "idiotic." ______ Title: Re: Superman is gay.

That is more of a nouveau gay posture, and is all the rage. Traditionally, however, they stood with arms akimbo. Title: Re: Superman is gay.

I am reminded of the Greek bowls from The Birdcage, with the pictures of the men and boys 'playing leapfrog'. Title: Re: Superman is gay.

Title: Re: Superman is gay. Post by: MaceVanHoffen on May 24, 2005, 01:09:31 PM I gotta say, that guy's diatribe probably turns more young men/boys onto playing for the home team. I mean, I'm getting all steamy just reading his descriptions of Superman.

\stingin' on your avatar Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't say anything about sweaty mens (double-pluralization on purpose) and Greco-Roman wrestling. Title: Re: Superman is gay.

Title: Re: Superman is gay. Post by: voodoolily on May 24, 2005, 02:05:19 PM He did use his x-ray vision on Lois Lane when she interviewed him (in the movie). She asked what color underwear she was wearing, and after being embarrassed about it changed the subject. Then Superman just says "pink".

It IS X-ray vision, after all... Title: Re: Superman is gay. Post by: voodoolily on May 24, 2005, 02:19:23 PM Well, at least this proves that Superman is not gay. Ghey, maybe, but not gay.
