Homosexuality is actually featured in a couple of comic books, as they do try to stay (at least somewhat) true to the real world, and sometimes give a good example (although that does really not need to be the focus point of comics, far from it). And I'm just talking about the big comic companies. There are gay ppl in comics, so are there in real life.
Acceptance and tolerance, respect and equality, This are the message X-men comics are all about. One cannot say they deeply enjoy comic books that's about discrimination and how wrong it is, and not see how that translates to real life. Mutants, black ppl, native americans, jews, gays, asians... the list goes on and on. They're all minorities, often supressed or discriminated against. There's no difference. At least not in spirit (considering mutants are fictional).
There are gay characters in many comics as I said, they're just not often veery prominent.
DC has Midnighter and Apollo (think Batman and Superman being a couple) in their.... eh Veretigo is it?.... line. They are higly popular and prominent characters of The Authority.
Marvel ahs Northstar (although he unfortunatly seldom gets more story than "I am gay. Gaygaygay. Oh and a jerk. "), who's quite big in X-men and Alpha Flight. We have Hector, from Hulks Pantheon. Rawhide Kid. Karma from New Mutants, I think.
It's an interesting and bold move of Marvel to put a character already with an fanbase and certain notoriaty in this big type of comic and have him modernized to the rest of the world (yes meaning they're should be some more minorities in there) but we must remember it's still him. It's still Colossus.

Why do you continue to say kidspyke when i'm not kidspyke? God can not interfere with ones free will which means he has no control of what a person can do he can only influence them. It's kind of like human parents, and there children as they can influence there children. The point I was trying to make is that God destroyed Sodom, and Gammorah two homosexual city's, because they refused to stop there wicked ways. This is why I said that being homosexual is a sin, and that it was against Gods intial plan. If you dont believe in God than all can do is give you evidense nothing more.The human race started moving, or migrating around the world is it a coincidense that in the Bible it says God changed the peoples language, and moved them about the world when the people tryed to build a tower to heaven.
Is it also a coincidense that the Egyptian's told stories about the events that happened to them when Moses lead the hebrews out of Eygept.
I could give more examples but i'm tired, and I know that no matter what I say you will believe what you think, and I will do the same.
There's perfectly rational explanations to the things u mentioned.
The humans started moving around and thus changed from the ppl that stayed at different places. New languages, features like diferent heights, skin colours, noses, eyelids etc developed differently after their surroundings.
And There's nothing odd about there being actual historical events described in the bible. How much of the rest is true or twisted is another story.
But I agree. Nothing we can say will affect each other's views. So let's stop.
So Here's an image of Colossus doing the impossible, breaking Magneto's hold on him (And the big Russikie's metal mind u) and beating the crap out of him.
