And while we agree ’s sential for people who make mass-appeal movi to go ahead and make mass-appeal movi, we don’t thk we’re gog to see a major Marvel superhero e out as gay a Hollywood picture anytime soon. In A Queer History of the Uned Stat, Michael Bronski explas how the disciple of sexology the 1880s led to “the scientific disvery of ‘homosexualy, ’” creatg the opportuny for “open discsn about the subject. ” Unfortunately, Bronski ntu, this new language “immediately led to a clear articulatn of negative stereotyp about homosexuals.

”Later, the Amerin ary tried to block gay men and women om enlistg durg World War II by classifyg queerns as a psychiatric disorr. Allan Bébé explas Comg Out Unr Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women World War II that “the reason for excludg [gay men] as psychopaths was that… they were nsired to be irrponsible troublemakers who were unable to ntrol their sir or learn om their mistak and th threatened other men. ” Or, as Bronski puts , “A direct lk was beg ma between homosexual behavr and a threat to natnal secury.

MarvelIn the preface to Comg Out Unr Fire, Bébé reflects on what impact his rearch and wrg had on him:Begun as the story of how gay Amerins had served their untry, this book evolved to a history of how the ary’s mobilizatn for war ma soldiers nont homosexualy their personal liv and changed the ways that homosexualy f to Amerin stutns.
