WHY WE WORRY ABOUT DC COMICS'S GAY CHARACTERS

But people are plited and societi evolve, so sce that time has e to be acknowledged that some characters are lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr.

Extraño, DC Comics' first openly gay super-hero. The Comics Co Authory explicly forba pictn of homosexualy until 1989, fluenced by Fredric Wertham's Sctn of the Innocent, who saw homosexual elements the relatnship between Batman and his ward Rob. Millennium #2 was not the first appearance of homosexual characters DC Comics, however, is the first time we have seen an openly gay character at DC Comics.

The seri mostly foc on a flamboyant stereotype of a gay man, but do touch on sensive topics like HIV/AIDS, and was ntroversial at the time. Neil Gaiman's Sandman (Volume 2) featured several different topics, cludg elrly gay uple Prelus and Nocturn and a trans woman A Game of You. As general acceptance of LGBT shifted the 21st Century, more characters me out as gay.
