One of the interesting things about researching my LGBT superheroes talk is how the comics companies seem to be much more relaxed about addressing LGBT themes in comics aimed at a teen audience. Marvel are particularly good, with titles like New Mutants, Runaways and Young Avengers being famous for their LGBT content. I was not in the least bit surprised to see this post on Bleeding Cool which suggests that Young Avengers might be the first mainstream US superhero team comic to have a line-up that is entirely queer.

All of which gives me plenty of hope for the future.
