The Harper's website has a great list of the fates that befall gay and lesbian comic book characters. Unsurprisingly, they are, for the most part, pretty grim. Take, for example, Blarney Cock who was "disemboweled, whereupon a gerbil crawled out of his anus," or Moondragon, "kidnapped, ear ripped off by a villain who makes her girlfriend deliver it to Moondragon’s father as a ransom note." WTF??!! Today we learned that not only do comic book authors not really love the gays, but comic books are really, really violent.
