As a lifelong DC Comics fan, I think I can truly state that Dr. Fate's fabulous blue and gold costume made me the gay man that I am today. Likewise, Element Lad's admitted shyness towards women (and pretty pink outfit) helped me identify with him as a gay teen. Until now, though, I didn't know where I could find others whose gayness was so closely intertwined with a love of comic books. The Gay League changed all that. Warning, some of the fan-submitted artwork, featuring generously overendowed (even by superhero standards) men and women is probably a little risque for work. We're here, we're queer, we love the Legion!

We don't just tolerate the Robert James Wallerisms in ''Spider-Man,'' we begin to employ them as pickup lines Hey, I'll put Stan Lee and "Spider-Man" above Waller and "The Bridges of Madison County" any old day. That doesn't make me a stunted adolescent! This opinion piece really seems misinformed about any form of art or communication that doesn't meet the author's rather narrow standards. Fortunately, the opposing opinion balances things out a bit. Have you ever learned anything from a comic book, or do they just help the terrorists?
