It's all right, PB. After the Jesus/Hitler and the Arby's Hat/Hamburger Helper Hand fic, there's nowhere to go but up.
More or less.

On a related note: Doc Mayavale is obviously bi. This is not in dispute. As the saying goes: Twice as many chances for a betrayal on a Saturday Night.

Hm, the Hamburger Helper Hand fic sounds like it could be moving.

Actually, in retrospect, I'd say Uncle Sam is NOT a candidate - I don't believe he was ever shown to have any romantic attachments to women before. He was just not a sexual type at all. If the character was clearly heterosexual before the New 52, it had to be someone who's had a girlfriend or wife.

I was going to point that out, but I was afraid of provoking a Darkseid-level tantrum on Peeb's part.

I wouldn't rule someone out for lack of romantic attachment alone, but I do agree that Alan Scott is a good possibility. It could be seen as something to appease Obsidian fans.

Which political trends would those be? Seems to me in the last decade it's been far more likely to be accused of doing so than I recall it actually being done.
Frankly, I'm so tired of the uproars that I'd rather it not be Uncle Sam. I guess, in that way, they've won, but I just don't feel like hearing over a fictional character right now, it just let's them divert focus from the really important stuff.

Now as far as the Freedom Fighters, Uncle Sam may be breakout iconic, meaning he's not specific to the comics medium, but within the field they'll all somewhat equally iconic. In the same ballpark at least.
Doll Man... well I never figured out why a straight guy back then would call himself Doll anything. I think his costume set off my gaydar too, was it the bare legs?
Black Condor's costume just seemed like only a macho gay man could pull it off.

The only Quality Comics character who I would really describe as "iconic" (ignoring Uncle Sam, who, as pointed out, is only iconic because he's not specifically a comics character) is Plastic Man, who I suggested earlier.

I was under the impression it was going to happen in Superman, which would rule out E2 characters.

You haven't noticed a trend toward greater equal rights for gay people and legitimate marriage for gay couples in most political arenas in the western world?
