I understood where he was coming from. *shrug*
 
Um, XT, it seems quite self-explainable if you were reading the whole thread. Or at least the last few posts. And not even! Just alone you should understand it, since you know about the rumors and stuff.
 
basically hes saying that collossus being gay shouldnt make us change our opinion of him because theres a lot more to him. Hes also adding that altho hes not a fan of homosexuality, he still likes colossus. Is that right GW?
 
Ooooooookay...anyway, back to the topic at hand.
 
I don't see what the big deal with it was. As an exclusive society is beginning to bud a lot of people don't get where this is coming from. I think that our blind faith is beginning to blind us from seeing reality, too. That's what I mean. Why would it matter if Colossus were gay? Why is this conversation going on? That's what I challenge you to ask yourself, XT. That's it.
 
Found this over at Vaughan's Boards...

AlphaFlight.net: I'm sure you were expecting some anger due to you writing the death of one of Marvel's few openly gay characters, not to mention most popular as such. Do have any reaction you would like to share about those calling you homophobic, or bigoted for this choice?

Mark Millar: It's just ridiculous and, thankfully, very few have suggested this was even a motive. As someone who's won two gay and lesbian awards for the treatment of Apollo and The Midnighter, had glowing reviews in a clutch of gay magazines, was all over the British tabloid press three years ago defending my use of gay superheroes (even when the cardinal of my own church described it as a disgrace) and introduced a gay Colossus into Ultimate X-Men, it just seems preposterous to assume this is bigoted in any way. I'm comic-books most dripping-wet liberal. This was an equal opportunities kill, as you might say. His sexuality didn't enter my head. It's like saying World War Two was an exercise in homophobia because hundreds of thousands of the troops who died would have been gay. It's just completely inconsequential to the story, no more relevant than the death of Harry Osborn or Barry Allen being an attack on heterosexuality.

Outted by Mark Millar! I smell a Jerry Springer appearance...
 
How could he be anything but gay though. He must spend hours in the gym trying to look that good. ;)

But yeah, it never occurred to me that colossus being gay was a bit deal. I mean, he's just gay, not a republican. :D
 
I think Millar makes gay characters because they are contreversial... That being said, I think he does it unnecessarily, too. He's trying to get a rise out of these people, really. I don't really appreciate that, especially when he picked the wrong character to make gay... It should've been Beast; that would've made more sense to me at the time.

Because Beast is dead now? Millar said he just did it to do it. He isn't trying to get a rise out of anyone. Read what he said.
 
I did... I don't think he should've done it to do it, is what I'm saying.

And the reason why I said Beast was, not because he was dead, but because it would've been less out of nowhere, do you know what I mean?
 
I know what you mean, I just don't know why your saying it. Unless your talking about when Beast told Trish Tilby he was gay to raise rights awareness.
