6,000 isn't a lot. Should be asking why lame singers, actors ...ect are so popular.

 

Rebecca Black rings a bell.

Why should a character's sexual orientation make a difference to if you read it or not if people actually like that character?

I know it starts with an M and I'm not sure Rebecca got to that day so I have to wait for the sequel song to find out.

But she never got around to finishing it.

You think if I do a quick sequel I can get over a 100 million views, a record deal and some random middle age guy in an SUV to add some racial diversity to my video?

actually, likely straight ones who get all excited one way or another about whether a person is gay or not.
most gay people likely don't care too much, since it's normal everyday life to them.

if you have a crush on a fictional character, and you are emotionally disturbed or heart broken when you find out they don't dig your gender? somethings  wrong with you.

I'm not accusing you of this, i'm just sayin. lol.

you're not homophpobic, but gay dudes in comics make you feel uncomfortable? A little nervous? Scared maybe?

....you do know what PHOBIA means, right?

They have loose morals and are easy and very promiscuous, just like all popular things. Celebrities, pop stars, porn stars, dinosaurs, catholic school girls, Wolverine, cheerleaders, Orks, and ghosts.

As a dead catholic dinosaur in the porn industry, I would be generalizing myself with that stereotype so I wasn't.. oh not wait I was... kidding. i mean I am kidding now as well. Gah Shadowdoggy now you are making me not sure not either ^_^ lol (I was making fun of the hopefully outdated and hilariously stereotype that all gay men wear leather shorts and leather hats, big bushy mustaches and baby oil and run around at night slapping people on the but and shouting out hello sailor) ((my sincere apologies if Poe's Law was in effect))

@The Umbra Sorcerer:  hey... I was.. serious that one time in that thread about uhm... that uh.. I can be serious. lol (thank you too =)

I believe there's so many hits is because the gay community has become a major part of modern culture.  It's not that hard to figure out. Writers of comics want to reach out to all circles of society. It's like how, in the '70s/'80s, when racism (or the acceptance of it) was dying out, many comic writers began making black comic heroes ( <3 Vixen & Black Lightning! Whoot whoot!).  As the acceptance and popularity of an idea grows, it gets published in everything.
Now, do I necessarily agree w/ the gay-lifestyle? No. I do not. But I ain't gonna go hatin' on 'em either.  That's just as bad. Hate the deed, not the doer...that's what I say.  So many people who don't like gays go waaaay over the edge with mistreatment. It's wrong, and I think people really need to grow up and figure out why they disagree with something and how to approach it.

Except for the major part of modern culture part, I entirely agree.  (Like Apple Macintosh, percentage-wise they're still a minority, but they do have quite the voice now.)  It's fine to not be fond of a certain thing, but it doesn't mean it's alright to treat people like a KKK member would.  We can't be expected to find the same things attractive or correct, but it doesn't mean we have to be hate-mongers about it.

Rictor is the only character I've ever heard of being gay, actually.

today I also made up "Tapestrial" meaning that something has qualities like or likened to those of a tapestry

such as "I really like the design on that piece, it has a tapestrial quality to it."
