People are so sensitive

Apparently D.C. Comics is not terribly happy about Mark Chamberlain’s “Gay Batman” watercolor series currently on display at Kathleen Cullen Fine Art. I don’t understand what all the fuss is about, it is just someone else’s perception of the dynamic duo (and by someone else’s I mean EVERYONE else’s. Really, who hasn’t had the thought cross their mind? Especially in the Adam West days).

One of Stay Free Magazine’s readers, Larry, was particularly distraught.

AS USUALL THE F*CKING QUEERS HAVE TO F*CKIN RUIN IT FOR EVER ONE ELSE.BATMAN HAS NEVER BEEN GAY SO WHY IS HE BEING PROTRAYED GAY…MAYBE IT THE INSURCURITY THAT COMES WITH THE GAY PEOPLE…ME I CANT STAND GAYS AND NO IT HOMOPHOBIC WHICH BY THE WAY IS ANOTHER THE GAYS CAME UP WITH FOR PPL LIKE ME THAT BELEIVE MAN AND WOMEN WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER

Wow Larry I really appreciate your articulate argument. So you can’t stand “gay people”? You don’t say! I would have never guessed. I suppose having a childhood hero’s sexuality challenged is just a little too much for you to handle especially because, as everyone knows, if you like something “gay” then you may as well consider yourself a card carrying member of the homosexual community.

I personally think the gay Batman series is a great idea and somewhat amusing. I hope that Chamberlain, Cullen and D.C. Comics can come to an agreeable solution that does not include D.C. confiscating all the remaining paintings as well as the cash for the items already sold.
