    The point is the co-creator only had one son who was gay and had died in the 90s, so has no living heir to fight for his recognition. By surprise twist, his gay son had a daughter! That’s the whole thing. That’s why it’s interesting.

    Oh god, the humanity, the children!!

      Gay people have invented, authored, and created for all of human history, largely under the guise of being straight lest they be shunned and cast out of halls of power.

      No the persons comment was very much lumping the creation of Batman under this. Like, yes, the story is cool and very surprising given the circumstances. But that isn’t what the person you’re replying to is taking issue with.

      What would this be called, gay-washing? I don’t know, I also don’t really care. I’m just pointing out what I see.

      Yes. I am well aware of the Finger family and have been a long supporter of getting his name on the comics.

      The above comment directly links the creation of the character to a son who had nothing to do with the creation.
