, are wonder woman and the legion the official "gay" superheroes???
It seems to have come up a lot lately and was just wondering...
I can't comment on WW. I have almost never cared for her.
The Legion...we touched on this in a LEGION thread in the Comics forum, but we can revisit it.
The Legion, being set in the future and presenting a concept of inclusiveness to alien races (both in the LoSH and in the UFP), is a natural attractor to us gays. This has been reinforced IRL by comments by Jim Shooter than Element Lad was gay (although it's thought that Levitz created Schvaughn Erin to specifically put that idea to rest). And of course, there was the Ayla-Vi relationship in TMK's Legion.
The Legion presents a univsere where humanity has overcome so many of its social ills, so naturally gays hope that that means any anti-gay bias as well.
The Grell-drawn hunky men in the 70s didn't hurt the young gay libido either. 
We all wear a green carnation.
