The Ashashi Shinbum reports that lawyers have accused prison officials in Tokyo of discrimination after an inmate was refused comics depicting gay sex. The discrimination comes into play, in that explicit manga featuring heterosexual scenes are not refused for similar inmates. The complaint came from a 45-year-old man in jail for drugging someone and then robbing them[...]

By Joe Glass Last night saw the gay men who like the tight spandex world of superheroes partying at SkinTight USA – a regular gay night for superhero fans and fans of spandex and lycra in all its forms – with its special NYCC post-con party night. I headed over with fellow Bleeding Cool reporter to see[...]

It became quite a thing. But after seeing some of the art, Dan Avery of gay-themed pop culure website NewNowNext suddenly feels a little less alienated, with the headline "Hercules Is Dad AF In New Marvel Comic Book". Okay, off to the urban dictionary… ah, it's "Dad As F*uck", a play on "Bad As F*ck", basically a hot[...]

And indeed versions of her have been noted in appearing in other Secret Wars titles. There really isn't anything that suggests the story was cancelled because the characters were gay But it is just unfortunate that this would come to light alongside certain other stories at Marvel. It gives the impression that Marvel isn't trying – whereas DC Comics is.

And on Hercules, who was seen to be bisexual in Marvel's 616 Universe, specifically down to a certain funeral scene… that moment seems to have been excised from Axel Alonso's memory, who replied to a question about the[...]

Peter S Svensson writes from Image Expo and shares his notes… Midnighter's Steve Orlando is back at Image with JD Faith for their new comic, Virgil. This book is "what if Quentin Tarantino had balls?" "What if Django had a gay couple?" Orlando calls it "queerspoiltation". It's about an outed cop in Jamaica, where gay rights are minimal at best, fighting[...]

Where do you take them? Well in today's Midnighter #2 by Orlando and Morgan, it's Moscow, on the week of gay pride, obviously Because they are so, so tolerant. I get the feeling that, for Midnighter, this is the equivalent of taking a first date on a roller coaster ride. With a similar effect in the other party… I[...]

The US Supreme Court has just mandated (I said "man dated") the implementation of gay marriage rights across the USA.And there is a ComiXology sale on Joe Glass' The Pride comic Which is great.

Today's All-New X-Men doesn't follow up on the headline making news of the last issue, where the younger Bobby Drake Iceman, taken from the past to the present, was outed by Jean Grey as a gay young man – even though his adult self is not gay Leading to all sorts of questions, outrage, discussion[...]

After I laid out the second page of "Tuckered", he offered to publish it and sent me a contract. Even though "Tuckered" is a 10-page gay erotic and romantic mini-comic, it wasn't easy to draw and I took the process of making it very seriously When I play fantasy games or watch fantasy movies, I often[...]
