Gay wonder woman

Wonder Woman is bisexual.

As a champion of love, Wonder Woman opposes homophobia. So why cover up her sexuality? In true heteronormative fashion, Trinity has both a mother and a father, in an apparent bid to remove any doubt that Wonder Woman could be anything other than straight.

As far as I can tell, cynical commercial reasons seem to lie at the heart of this cover-up: a queer Wonder Woman would be banned in many countries, and less marketable to conservative households — therefore generating less revenue for DC.

Sadly, this has never been proudly and unabashedly portrayed in any of her adventures since her debut in She comes from the all-female island paradise of Themyscira, where men were forbidden and immortal women warriors — known as Amazons — lived blissfully for millennia; the implication being that lesbian relationships were the norm.

Not now Yes please. In the comics, she’s dated both men and women, most notably Steve Trevor, Superman, Batman, an Amazon woman named Kasia, and Alethea, an Amazon Stablewoman. This feels like full-on queer erasure. Please refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged in Please refresh your browser to be logged in.
