"Merry Men," a new ic book om Oni Prs, reimag Rob Hood as a gay outlaw. * gay robin hood *

One of the ways I'm tryg to be te to the perd is that the 12th century there was no ncept of homosexualy per se; the term self was hundreds of years om beg was same-sex activy, of urse, but that was seen as a behavral issue, not as an exprsn of inty. Acrdgly, some of the Merry Men are bisexual, others entirely gay, and there's one -- I won't say which right now -- who is actually straight, but who feels a sense of gratu and loyalty to another member of the group that manifts self as a kd of romantic love. It was a liberate choice, and a b of a difficult one for me, bee I'm prcipally known as a satirist; my novels om the '90s -- Fag Hag, Closet Case, Kept Boy, and so on -- were all farcil tak on gay archetyp.

Also, my first ics seri was a spy spoof lled Coname: Knockout, whose heroe had a gay sikick named Go-Go Fias. So people generally expect that kd of thg om me, and, fact, when I tell people that my new ics seri is "gay Rob Hood, " their first reactn is to lgh and say what a hilar ia that is. And then gets awkward bee I have to set them thg is, I've been atg for gay actn-adventure hero for years now.

Bee may be the 12th century and they may be peril of their liv, but this is a still bunch of burly gay guys the woods.
