He Loves the Stars AND Stripes, Dammit!

By now, lots of people have heard about the persistent and increasingly mainstream campaign to have Captain America come out as bisexual.


Poor Steve Rogers! His tragic and thwarted love for Peggy Carter . . .


. . . is matched only by his tragic and thwarted love for Bucky Barnes.


Okay, I grant you there's a certain amount of subtextual interpretation going on here but the situation is crystal clear to anyone with good Gaydar!


Recently, however, Marvel chose to have Captain America come out as a lifelong Hydra agent instead because that's somehow, you know, more believable . . . .


But once that whole ugly smear campaign gets derailed, then surely it's only a matter of time until Cap kicks his closet door clear off its hinges, right? Right?



Keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending!

  14. I was completely clueless about all this. What would I do without you, Debra? Probably know very little about coolness.

    Still, I'm voting for Team Bucky. I don't care if there isn't any voting going on. Team Bucky!

  19. How is your gaydar working for Game of Thrones? Are we going to see Denerys Targaryn, Mother of Dragons, light a fire with Yara Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. There could be some iron smelting in the future.

  21. Oh, Debra..I am such a bad blogging friend. I have never watched any of the "super hero" movies and didn't understand any of this. HOWEVER, I am totally rooting for a gay super hero as every occupation (and let's go with the hero biz as being an occupation) should be diverse.

  23. LOL, I will support my heroes' rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, whichever way their hearts take them.
