Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.

DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.

These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.

“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “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?’”

The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”

Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

I should hope so

This whole “omg a male DC main character will be gay oh lord have mercy on popular media” is hilarious, DC just simply drops this little fact via twitter that one of them is going to come out and the rest of this publicity is all fucking fan-made. It’s like when JK Rowling answered a question like “are there any gay characters in HP?” and she was like “hm, Dumbledore is”, and then you had Harry Potter fans coming out of the woodwork thinking this argument was legitimate:

aw, but he didn’t seem gay. Why does she even need to mention it? Now that she mentioned it, it sort of ruined his character. It wasn’t necessary, it’s just a publicity stunt, etc. I don’t hate gay people, but like, if it isn’t a big deal, why did she even have to say it??

as usual, the only people who care are the people who are against it. 

ps, fuck yeah Northstar, Canada REPRESENT.

THIS ^

Look, One Million Moms, just think about it: you’re afraid some little boy in his impressionable youth will suddenly ‘turn gay’ because he wants to be like Northstar? If it were say, Spider-Man or Batman, you’d still be moronically wrong, but I’d have to acknowledge your shitty opinion. But in your estimation, we have a young lad: straight as any young kid (who has yet to consider any relationship beyond schoolyard chums, be they boys or girls) can be, well on his way to a blissful life of misogyny and you’re afraid that he’s going to start fancying the fellas because Northstar does? Is he going to speak in a French-Canadian accent? Is he going to be part of a team that can’t support an ongoing series? Is he going to pretend to have really boring powers? I don’t see any young kid:
1) reading comics since they’ve got video games and pokemans to play with
2) being influenced by Northstar because no one cares about Northstar unless he’s involved in a storyline like this
3) ‘becoming gay’ because a comic book character did it, whoever they are

The only thing it might possibly teach is the same thing the X-Men taught (though in a more subtle, albeit slightly less intentional way), that being that there are many different kinds of people out there and that we all ought to be cool with that.
