I’m pretty sure Batman is too…
Is Tintin Gay? Is somehow a news worthy story I found this morning while using Yahoo!’s sports page. Seriously, who the fuck cares? He never does anything sexual at any time, and he is an age-old classic comic and cartoon of adventure and wonder. That, and he’s ficitional! That’s right, not real, not a person, and not one whom should be put under the Christian Conservative microscope of immoral scrutiny.
There was a great comment on the site proposing that Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk could easily fall under this umbrella of sexual preference ambiguity. Or what about Bugs Bunny? That damn rabbit was always wearng women’s clothes and seducing the opponent of each cartoon? Pretty sure those are some far “gay-er” things than wearing short pants and living with a sailor.
If anything, the biggested irrational concern would be how dangerous the Captain is from being drunk all the time. That was actually shown in the comic, and is by far more dangerous of an influence. Gay people are happy, just like any other couple, but drunks are dangerous, reguardless of whom they are or who they are with. But really, this was written in the 1920’s in Belgium, manours of dressing and behaviour were much different then, so there is no point scrutinizing a fictional past with the eyes of a biased society of a different age.
