GAY CHARACTERS IN COMIC BOOKS: Why Should The Japanese Have All The Fun? (Kyle)

So this has nothing to do with yaoi, but why should the Japanese have all the fun? There are a bunch of gay superheros and supporting characters in comics, but my favorite is Renee Montoya from the Batman comics. Yes, Batman is my favorite hero but she is kickass. She was also blackmailed into coming out, and her response to another lesbian character from Metropolis (Superman's city) is that “Gotham isn't Metropolis, it isn't San Francisco, it isn't New York.” I like that quote, as paraphrased as it is.
