Gay X-Men Superhero Gets Wed
LGBT superheroes in mainstream comics in the past have been far and few between. Although there has always been LGBT characters appearing within the pages of DC’s or Marvel’s pages, they have never ran a storyline in which an LGBT character has taken centre stage.

LGBT and Sport: A Story of Two Halves. I really look forward to the day when words like, brave, shocked or courageous are no longer used when a sportsperson tells the public that their sexuality isn’t heterosexual.

The single, which will be available to download before Christmas 2011; will see all its proceeds stay within the gay community via Stonewall and [...]

The excitement builds as you get a call from a literary agent who says they love the book but… for the manuscript [...]
