Morphine Prince 109,998 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 In an interview with Comicosity, Wonder Woman comics writer Greg Rucka discussed the new thematic elements his comic series following the superhuman Diana, including the much talked-about sexual orientation of its titular character. When asked about the subject, Rucka confirmed that his Wonder Woman is, indeed, queer. “When you start to think about giving the concept of Themyscira its due, the answer is, ‘How can they not all be in same-sex relationships?’ Right? It makes no logical sense otherwise,” he said. Rucka went on to discuss the dominating female presence in the story, as well as the romantic relationships between the Amazons. “But an Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, ‘You’re gay.’ They don’t,” he went on. “The concept doesn’t exist. Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As Nicola and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes. And it needs to be yes for a number of reasons. But perhaps foremost among them is, if no, then she leaves paradise only because of a potential romantic relationship with Steve [Trevor]. And that diminishes her character. It would hurt the character and take away her heroism… She doesn’t leave because of Steve. She leaves because she wants to see the world and somebody must go and do this thing. And she has resolved it must be her to make this sacrifice.” Source: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/wonder-woman-comics-writer-confirms-diana-obviously-had-220832045.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeka 12,372 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well it makes sense. I always thought Amazons would be at least bisexual. I mean, if you're surrounded by nothing nut women and men are considerd the weaker sex, it makes sense. But they're now allowed to admit things they couldn't have a long ass time ago.

Quartz 12,763 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I thought this was obvious since they were amazons Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey 3,017 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 No, she isn't. Wonder woman was created by William Moulton Marston and his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston in 1941. Not by Greg Rucka. The current incarnation may be bisexual, but it doesn't apply retroactively, or in perpetuity.

RadioIsOurs 13,876 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 What? But they would never ever make Superman bisexual... It's never as progressive as they want it to sound because there is still the perception from many men that lesbianism is only there for their pleasure and exploitation, while gay men are 'gross'...

Sorry but I had to spill the tea there... We do have gay male superheroes. Just none of them will be in a main movie. If I remember correctly, Iceman is canonically gay, Mystique is bi and originally supposed to be Nightwalker's father... Some people wanted to do these things before the idea of girl on girl was hot, whilst the idea of having gay characters weren't that palatable. But here's the thing, it's not the general public who watches these summer smashes who cares, it's the people reading the comics. The movies are made for money and usually considered alternate continuities that suck anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
