--- Quote ---Many DC fans may not have heard of Batwoman, let alone know that she is going to re-emerge as a super dyke. Bruce Wayne’s relative is coming out of the closet with a bang—at 5’10’’, clad in red leather knee-high boots with spiked heels, flowing red hair, and a form-fitting black outfit. For those who don’t know, the original Batwoman strip started in 1956 and was killed off in 1979. The new character will share the same name as her original alter ego, Kathy Kane.

The unveiling of the new Batwoman is due to take place in July as part of an ongoing weekly series....

--- Quote ---“It’s pretty acceptable to have a sexy powerful woman as a lesbian, where as Marvel’s attempt to introduce gay men as super heroes failed miserably,” says Vikram, coordinator of Gay Bombay and major comic buff. “Minor super heroes, like North Star, are part of the larger Justice League, but there has never been an established male gay super hero. So while Batwoman will cater to nerdy boys and butch lesbians, gay men have to make do with the hyper feminine boys of the YAWEE Manga genre.”

Regardless of what is being referred to by ths "YAWEE," I'm afraid this quoted comic buff needs to brush up on his manga. Sure -- there are more hyper-feminine lads than you can shake a stick at in some genres. Then there's that other stuff. His point is taken though -- Marvel's efforts in this area met with limited success.

--- Quote ---Comic Con 2007 is adding a little color to its lineup of comic book heroes—in the flesh and otherwise—by again including Prism Comics, a nonprofit organization that supports LGBT publications, creators, and readers.
