I wouldn't care if he was gay from the start, but since the start was 1962 the book would have been burned and Marvel probably wouldn't have survived the backlash. So I dunno, it's impossible?

I have no idea why they didn't make either Ultimate Peter, or especially Miles gay. I don't read USM so perhaps Miles could still turn out gay. Has he had any girlfriends or shown interest in women sexually?

As long as mary jane and gwen stacy were retooled as f*ckable bishonen guys.

@punyparker: what's your opinion?

@punyparker: i love everyone, but i don't like the idea of homosexuality, lesbianism, and beasttiality, its disgusting. GOD created a man and a woman to be fruitful and multiply. do you wanna know the truth about gay life style?

Everyone can do whatever they want.It's non of our business to judge.

@punyparker: ohh really? when you say judging some one it6 means to regard (someone) as either good or bad for example; so if your brother is doing something very wrong, won't you judge him? if your closest friend is stealing your stuffs wont you judge him? the truth is when you see some one doing something incredibly wrong, you tell him is wrong. when you tell some one what he or she is doing is wrong, you tell him is wrong, showing that you love the person.

@medulaoblaganda:

1. We're clearly getting off-topic here.
2. Being homosexual isn't a crime,so don't equal it with anything like stealing,it's just ridiculous.
3. You're really passionate about your opinions.Make a thread in the Off-Topic section,and discuss about it.Not here.

@punyparker: in the judging aspect, you said no one should judge, and what i was trying to let you understand is that when seeing some one doing something absolutely wrong, its let for us to correct them, that they are doing the wrong thing. may be homosexual isn't a crime, but in the eyes of our creator is a huge sin. don't let this world corrupt ur mind please. just think about what i said. you see am being polite right? lol. am only telling u the truth. don't support the gay right.

@feartheliving: are you gay as well? lol

@medulaoblaganda: No, but so what if I was? Did the big mean gays come and beat you up as a kid or something? No one's forcing you to go and watch them have sex what they do is their own business just like what you do is your own business.

@feartheliving: do you think its disgusting when two men are having sex ?

Disgusting? No. That being said I'm not out on the streets seeking it out either. Why? Because I'm not attracted to men nor do I care if two grown ass men want to touch either's naughty bits. As long as they're both into it there shouldn't be a problem. Same goes for woman that want to get frisky with each other, but in that case I wouldn't mind watching them go at it.

So what's this all bout @medulaoblaganda? Are you gay? Are you trying to fight the urges? It's okay if you are you're among friends.

@feartheliving: am not gay. i find it disgusting, and evil. the truth is does people that are gay are indirectly telling GOD that he is wrong. GOD created a man and a woman that they should be fruitful and multiply. its an evil act. animals don't perform gay sex or lesbian sex, it is humans that are doing that crap. america is just like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. i don't know if u believe in GOD.

@medulaoblaganda: You were saying?

Joking aside if God didn't want gays why bother creating them? Believe what you want to believe and if what you say is true then all those gay people will burn in the pits of hell along with the rest of us who supported their cause in which case why you worrying about it? You're super against homosexuality we get it you think it's vile so why don't you knock off harassing us sinners and enjoy your time on this Earth until you get to go to the pearly gates?

@medulaoblaganda: @feartheliving:

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THIS GUY!

TAKE IT ELSEWHERE!!!

(i already told one of you....)

I wouldn't mind if they had a new gay spidey, but if they decided "Hey lets make Peter gay!" it would actually make me mad because it's kind of like saying being gay is a choice.

Ultimate Fantastic Four

In the Ultimate Marvel Universe; there is a government agent named Lumpkin who works for the agency that runs the think-tank/school in the Baxter Building. Although his first name is not mentioned, this version is an obvious homage. He is in his forties and overweight. He is initially shown recruiting Reed Richards.

I don't think that anyone is telling God that they are wrong by simply following their emotions. Homosexuality is about more than just sex. It is also about love. In our quaint Catholic view of God, he created ALL things, including love. So does that not mean he created homosexual love too? And before the old "nah, the devil (in whatever form he might take in any specific religion) created that" let's not forget that God made the Devil too and being omniscient, God knew what he was doing and what the Devil would create in his wake.

And America failing? Maybe.

But i think that's more to do with Miley Cyrus ;P

Oh dear God........

@feebadger: GOD said we should love one another, but not the gayish act. GOD created Lucifer, Lucifer rebelled against GOD saying he wants to be bigger than GOD, then GOD cast him out.

What the f*ck has become of this thread!??

Really.

Yes, yes it is. I't also about what if he were gay. Which is what we were discussing. I'm sorry I didn't take to kindly to someone saying his lifestyle would be disgusting and wrong. When you're a comic fan and video game fan like myself you see everything under the sun and more have relationships with each other and trying to make it work. Having a Spider-man love another man isn't the most craziest thing out of the bunch.

I just checked his profile and he's from Texas, big shock huh?

@sheenlantern: What are you talking about I'm sure they breed them nice and smart in the city of "houaton". Joking aside he could be from Mars I just don't agree with his views.

Sooooo, wouldn't be a subscriber of the 'gay' Spider-Man then? Cool. ONWARDS!

What's surprised me the most about a lot of people's answers here is how much they use comics for some form of wish fulfillment. For me, i never really imagined that part of the fantasy included bedding Mary Jane or dating Gwen. I was just in it to see how Spider-Man would deal with a certain villain or how Peter would deal with whichever turn his life took.

To me, it would have made no difference if those decisions sometimes revolved around same sex dating or such.

So, is this the only reason why female lead comics tend not to last long? Because guys are only buying comics for the sexual wish fulfillment??? :)

@feebadger: never, lol i will never be a subscriber of the gay spider man. spider man is one of my favorite comic hero.

You are very fat troll, you know.

Duh wha?

YOU sir, have just made my day! :)

@feebadger said:

I mean that you are troll of internet kind and very fat one. The whole topic is tipical troll topic, banal insertion of provocative idea with possibility of accusing opponents in all kind of phobias.

@rubear: Yo less calling of names man. OP happens to be one of my fave people in the world and was asking a simple question. If that gets you so bent out of shape you gotta call names,maybe the internet is not for you,

BTW fat? Hardly. You misspelled CUTE :P

Warning for insults. Don't do it again.

:P

you do realize one of your fave characters new life is based on a deal with the devil....

@w0nd: how? lol

well a deal with the devil was made to bring someone back from dying, and to remove his marriage to his wife lol....mmmm sacralicious

@w0nd: that's bullshit!! they should have come up with another story

the funny part is, mephisto (the devil) made it seem like ironman, dr strange, and tony stark mixed magic and science to come up with a way to fix peters life. So the whole making a deal with the devil wasn't necessary, they could have cut that out and just made it those 3.

@w0nd: don't you know that's how the devil works? that was how he trick eve to eat the fruit from the tree of life, even fell for it. Satan always find a way trick people, and its now left for you to resist the devil. if you don't, then that means the devil is in control of your life. gat it?

that's my point, your fave super hero is living a live he got due to the devils influence. If you can tolerate that then a gay character isn't that far off lmao

Love your work. Just love it. Lol.

It's a strange and cynical this information super highway is. I've been on this site a little too long to be trolling. It's like pooping in your own house :) More importantly, what IS your actual opinion on the question at hand, sir?

Awwwwww, is you stopping hte big kids from stealing my lunch money??? You are the CUTEST! :):):)xxx

@feebadger: Maaaaaaaaaaaybe.... :):):)xxx

Live make people cynical, that's fact, and trolls and moral are incompatible, that's another fact. My opinion? I hated last young avengers volume because of focus on gay teenagers and don't have anything against Bunker, gt from Teen Titans. I'm angry about racechange of Wally West and don't have anything against nice Danica Willams (Flash Beyond). I dislike all-new ultimates not only because they are not ultimates, but in addition because of team roster with two black boys who are only boys in team with 4 girls, but i don't have anything against concretly them. Do you see my opinion?)

hmm, I am far from a homophobe, an ardent LGBT ally. And honestly, a lot of peters problems in high school would be make sense, with his feelings of seclusion and isolation and unrequited crushes. But at the same time, I am straight and part of how I relate to Peter is in his romances/struggles with women and unfortunately I am not open minded enough to feel that type of connection to a gay romance. One of the reasons I enjoyed spider-man was for the "soap operatic" feel of Stan/Ditko and Romita era stories (I grew up reading the essential trades.) He was one of the first super heroes to be more defined OUTSIDE of the costume as opposed to in it. Therefore, he was defined partly by his relationships to his supporting cast, including the bevy of beautiful women introduced.

So, to answer the question: no, I would not have a problem with it. But I would probably be less interested in reading new stories involving his romances as I would not have quite the connection/mutual understanding I once did.

To be honest though, ever since I started reading more modern peter, esp after BND, he has becoming almost unreadable. A perpetual manchild, he is no longer relatable anymore anyways. After superior ended I quickly lost interest, as Pete seems to be the same ol pete I've known for 21 years, only less confident then he was in the 60s-80s.

lol said much more eloquently then my phrasing!
