THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE UNR FIRE FOR BEG 'PRO-GAY PROPAGANDA'
A petn on started by Elena Shtakova lls for DC Entertament to "Make The Joker Gay Aga, " pactg the long-nng speculatn about the DC villa's sexualy to a clear ll to actn.
IS THE JOKER GAY, BISEX, OR STRAIGHT?
"The Joker is a character wh almost 80 years [of] history, half of which he was portrayed as homosexual, " Shtakova stat. "Neal Adams claimed that the Joker was and always had been homosexual [.. That is why 's so important to me and other queer rears to return his homosexualy.
Takg the character's entire history to acunt, different readgs uld eher see a troubled portra of a closeted gay man feigng an tert heterosexualy, or someone who is openly bisexual, pansexual or sexually fluid. His pulsn to Joker-fy his victims also feeds the homophobic myth of a gay nversn agenda.
GAY JOK
Frank Miller once summarized the Joker and Batman has a "homophobic nightmare. " But "beg queer don't make someone a bad person, " Shtakova pots out, "therefore, fictnal characters don't need to be good and righteo to be gay.
There's no reason that the historil subtext of a gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer or asexual Joker n't be brought back to the surface a siar, unmistakable way.
