I agree - you have to seperate the person from the character in most circumstances. I learned long ago that the industry I support by managing a theatre is full of people that I vehemently disagree with. I will, in select cases, refuse to watch a movie made by or including someone who disgusts me. A couple examples are avoiding The Pianist and Powder because I hate pedophiles. In most cases, however, you just have to let their personal stuff fade away and judge them on their ability to be someone else.
quote: Bobby Henderson Why does anyone care or feel the need to make a fictional superhero originally written for kids gay?
There are plenty of examples of things created for kids that have an alternate agenda (my apologies to FernGully, Captain Planet, Joe Camel, candy cigarettes, Walt Disney and Top Gun). Not saying this is the case here, just that you can't assume that because it's for kids it is propaganda-free.
quote: Chris Hipp Hello! Patrick has a crush on the princess and spongebob has a crush on Sandy. So what if he takes showers with Squidward, they are not even the same species.
Wow. Sounds like someone is a little sensative about his favorite television character getting picked on. When I heard He-Man was popular in the gay community, I guess I got a little defensive, too.

Zzzzzzzzz. Someone wake me when this thread dies. While Superman does seem a tad, um, queer. I doubt seriously he is. He's supposed to stand for all the good qualities. Truth, justice, ect ect, blah blah. Pillar of community. Besides, I know a couple of guys, dress flamboyant, work at a lingere store, etc. They are definatly not gay. They're like "Dude, you know how many women we get to see in their negliges." They're also proud to tell you what underwear a girl is wearing. So, superman seeming gay, probably just means the chicks flock to him even more (cause you know that chicks love gay guys), like they need any more excuse to flock to him. I'd supsect Spiderman long before Superman. Now that said, anyone up for a sing-a-long?
