WH PENGU & RIDDLER, GOTHAM GAVE US DC'S BT GAY RELATNSHIP

Wh Pengu & Riddler, Gotham Gave Us DC's Bt Gay Relatnship. By stg Pengu and the Riddler as a romantic pairg, Fox's Gotham has given the bt superhero (OK, supervilla) gay relatnship, ever. Can you thk of any show that would take a character who is straight the ics, wh the same level of name regnn as the Pengu, and turn him gay?

In fact, this relatnship might very well be DC’s bt gay relatnship, ever. The relatnship has s issu, y, but ’s never prented as a “gay relatnship” jt... Thk of some of the “bt” reprentatns of homosexual characters ics -- Midnighter and Apollo for stance -- and you’ll realize there are always some issu, to put dly.

GAY PENGUS IN ‘GOTHAM’: FOX’S SUPERHERO SHOW FALLY GETS QUEER RIGHT

The problem wh Midnighter and Apollo -- wh homosexual characters ics general -- is that most of the time, attentn is drawn to them, or the fact that they’re homosexual is pated as a big al.

Even amazg shows like Supergirl, the fact that one of the characters is gay is a big al -- wh plot l alg wh the character g out and how others will react. Homosexualy n happily ri mps.

Thk of the Village People’s YMCA -- a song that appears to many to be a no more than a simple and mpy song, but is actually a homosexual anthem about public sex! The mastream world has long shunned homosexualy, and even now treats as some strange other. When was first revealed, Gotham was still s first season, and was prented to the dience wh all the flair and dramatics as typil gay relatnship reveals, wh a smatterg of male gaze.

GOTHAM STAR SHUTS DOWN THOSE WHO COMPLA A GAY PENGU IS NOT ‘CANON’

They’re huge, huge villas, and Gotham has turned one of them gay, and the other?

It turned s gay subtext to straight-up text. Hypg up potentially gay stori that never e to un is a dispirgly equent piece of pop fictn’s morn landspe, after all. In fact, the Pengu’s g out isn’t jt an overdue tone for the character, ’s a rehg turn for the Dark Knight’s long, plited relatnship wh the gay muny.

ON ‘GOTHAM,’ PENGU IS GAY AND LOV RIDDLER; HERE ARE 4 ROADS TO ROMANCE OR CRIMAL BREAKUP

Publisher DC Comics dodged an early attack on their rpectabily when 1954 fear-mongerg psychiatrist Fredric Wertham ma the supposedly gay subtext of Batman and Rob’s partnership Exhib B his qut to kill the ics dtry.

The one mon thread all the gay supportg players the Batman i?

The clost the anchise has ever e is the way Joker tnts Batman as “Darlg” Frank Miller’s legendary but often hyper-macho The Dark Knight Returns – a move meant to highlight the homophobic fears of Batman’s mostly male rearship. And while hero wh a veneer of queer dg like Star Wars’ Poe Dameron and Capta Ameri’s Bucky Barn blow up Tumblr on a daily basis, ’s odd that Pengu’s obv nature never spired such lls for gay fn. So homophobic fans better get ed to .

And after seven s whout an openly gay man Batman’s world, ’s far past time that this reveal took hold the ics forever. Rob Lord Taylor is upset bee people have been angry about The Pengu possibly beg gay – and moro that a male character might be reprented as gay – as opposed to other character tras or issu wh the show.

As soon as he outed himself as a happily married man that loved another man, he was lashed out agast wh homophobic ments by so-lled fans of Batman – spe the fact that Batman would be agast such thgs and is obvly ol wh someone beg gay, as his Batwoman is gay, for example. People seem to have taken issue wh Taylor himself beg gay and that a male character might be gay, even though Taylor has th stated that The Pengu isn’t necsarily gay, or even bisexual, or even pansexual, or asexual, or hetrosexual – at this pot any “love” is an obssn for The Pengu. Aga, before the storyle has fished people have bee up arms that a male Batman character might be gay, but when that issue is nonted, shifts to the ia that Pengu might have any kd of relatnship wh a man, even if ’s not romantic nature.
