First gay superhero

[Astraea]

SPIDER-MAN creator Stan Lee is to unveil the world’s first gay superhero.

High school basketball star Thom Creed hides his developing superpowers along with his sexuality.
Former Marvel Comics boss Stan, 86 — who also created the Hulk and the X-Men — will unleash the character in an hour-long TV drama being shot in the US.
If it’s a hit there it will cross to the UK.
TV execs hope it will rival the huge success of shows likes Heroes.
Lee developed the idea of a gay character from the award-winning novel Hero by Perry Moore.
A TV insider said: “It was only a matter of time before we had our first gay superhero. And if there is one man who can make him a success it is Stan Lee.
“There’s a real buzz among comic book fans.”

Heh. Most superheroes have an ambiguous sexual preference anyway (in that we never see them in intimate settings with anyone), though some of the well-known ones do have relationships (Superman, Spider-Man, etc).

I can see it now-a whole new genre of gay superheroes:

"Skippy & Sparkle & the Organ Grinders Gang"

Lizzie & her Fur Traders"

"Hermie Hermaphrodite & the Switch Hitters"

Actually, gay superheroes have existed since at the very latest the early 90s. Not to mention that a well-known frequent character in Batman, Detective Montoya, turned out to be gay and then went on to become a masked vigilante. Stan Lee's just attention whoring around, as he is wont to do.

Also, hermaphrodites are a product of a birth defect known as intersexed. They're born with ambiguous or multiple genitalia, and often have more than 2 sex markers (common human has 2), which can cause physical and mental development problems and in some cases (most common with people who have 3 X chromosones) is fatal. Whether or not being transsexual is something a person is born with or develops, that is completely different from being a hermaphrodite, which is a genetic and medical condition.
