Gregory is the 'sexpert' on all things homosexual in comics, I guess... his/her/its opinions over-rule all others on this board and on this planet. He/she/it knows all the gays in comics, knows Batman and Robin are father/son, not top/bottom, because Gregory says so, not because it says so in the comics themselves... Robin kissed a girl once, he cannot be gay!
'one of the x-men is gay. John Constantine is bi-sexual.' OK, thanks for that clarification. From now on, people, when you talk about Robin possibly being sexually deviant, please only use the words 'possibly bi-sexual' since it has been offered, by Gregory, that Robin has in fact kissed a girl at one point in the history of comicdom.. comicdumb? gaydum? gaydumb?? sexual deviationdom? sexual deviationdumb???
who cares! that's all I was saying too... I perceive/believe that all comic book/cartoon/graphic novel super heroes who wear neon spandex tights and prowl the back alleys of megalopli in phallically suggestive vehicles at night, during peak deviant behavior hours, must display at least some forms of latent sexually deviant behavior by virtue of those very acts, in addition to their clever 'front' of 'thwarting evil'...
In my response, I went 'both ways' at first saying ALL superheroes like that were gay, then saying NONE were... Gregory picked up and keyed in only on the part of my response that he found 'offensive' or 'irritating' when the reality is, I don't care one way or the other what Batman and Robin do to conserve water by showering together, or to conserve energy by sleeping together (sharing body heat, to keep the energy costs down at Wayne Manor), or to keep fit and trim and toned by repeated aggressive acts of sexual deviance in the privacy of their own cave together, as long as they keep the Joker and the other evil sexual deviants from controlling all the spandex and latex production facilities in Gotham, thereby cornering the market on gay party favors, costumes and condoms and raining chaos down across the city and around the world, what they do in their off-hours is none of my concern...
ps: just because it shows Robin kissing a girl once or twice or however many times you are now going to document as 'proof' that Robin is not homosexual, doesn't mean he is NOT BI-sexual... because, there are somethings that do go on behind closed doors, we are not privvy to the life and lifestyles of Batman, Robin or any other superhero every second of every day, every waking (or sleeping) hour, 24/7/365...
you have all the documented 'proof' as written by the writers and creators of the comic book superheroes that specifically spell out in no uncertain terms which ones are for sure certainly definitely without a doubt gay/bi beyond reproach, fine! good, yay you for being so caught up and involved, clued in and concerned about such things, even though you then go on about 'not caring who is gay'. If it is so spelled out, so be it, they are the sexually deviant ones... if its not so spelled out, clear and obvious, if there is not a specific panel in a specific issue where superhero X cries out in orgasmic bliss "OH YES! I'M SUPER HERO, I'M SUPER QUEERO, GET USED TO IT! (TO THE BATPOLE, ROBIN!!)" then it will always be debatable, until such a panel in such an issue does exist.
I'm not offended or upset about the concept of homo/bi-sexual superheroes. I'm 'irritated' similar to the way you are, in the way that these topics go on and on, when you, guardian of all gaydom/dumb in all of comic superherodom/dumb, has all the links to all the answers and all the proof, and still the question remains... as much as by how a topic can be closed by mods but started again and allowed to flourish simply by changing 1 word in the Subject line, without changing anything of the real nature, tone or subsequent discourse of the topic...
nothing against wasting time on pointless blather over fictional cartoon characters, just voicing my opinion (or lack of opinion one way or another) doing same as all of you, discussing, debating, chatting away the days until Bruce Wayne finally does come all the way out of the closet, or Alfred writes his unauthorized tell-all biography...
that's all I was trying to do...

"Sexpert" is now my forum title.

Actually, it explicitly says as much in the Nightwing miniseries, the one where Nightwing overthrows a foreign dictator. If your talking about the first Robin? You realize that there's more than one, right? Which are you talking about?
Robin kissed a girl once, he cannot be gay!
Both Robins have had multiple girlfriends. If you want to say they're gay, the burden of proof is on you.

I said "possibly bisexual" not because I was speculating, but because I didn't have ready access to the relevant Hellblazer issue and thought I might possibly be mistaken. I wasn't. John Constantine is deffinitely bisexual.
In my response, I went 'both ways' at first saying ALL superheroes like that were gay, then saying NONE were...
I responded to the part where you said all of them were by calling it irritating. I responded to the other part by pointing out a gay and a bisexual superhero. I did not ignore anything.
I have classes in four minutes, so I have to cut this short. See you.
My friend is gay... he had several girlfriends, and kissed them, (and more) before he finally admitted to himself and his parents that he was gay... therefore the argumaent about Robin not being gay"because he kissed a girl" doesn't hold water... whether or not he is, is immaterial to me... all I do know is that Hooded Justice wasn't... that was just a vicious rumour spread by the Comedian... and Rorschach definitely isn't whatever fantasies Adrian Veidt may have had...

The "Robin isn't gay because he kissed a girl" argument doesn't hold water because the only person who's made it is someone who thinks that he is gay. It's a straw man. Not something I said. Please stop bringing it up.
I did say that Robin wasn't gay because he's had several girlfriends (this is not the same as "kissing a girl" once or twice). You're right in saying that that doesn't prove he's straight, but wouldn't you agree that it suggests it? And in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I would say that it only makes sense to assume that Robin is straight.
