Tin Tin is gay! (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article5461005.ece)

Well, at least according to the author of the article he is. So what characters from TV, Cartoons, and Movies do you think are homosexuals?

Asterix and Obelix definitely.

I'm also suspicious of Bruce Wayne - handsome, obscenely rich yet lives alone with a manservant and a young man. Said bit of jailbait he's talked into dressing up into very tight and very revealing spandex to indulge Wayne's fantasies. And he can't maintain any form of relationship with a woman neither. The causal relationships he has are just desperate, sad, attempts by him to hide his true nature.

Well I am not surprised that some people seem to think that because a character of fiction never had their love life written into the stories that must mean he was gay. Of course it is an old notion that because a male never gets married that must mean he was gay.

If Herge ever comes out and says it (which he won't considering he is dead) then it will be more believable not some journalist who has to write an article and decided to just come up with crap.

I have thank you very much. Quite how that story shows they're not gay I've no idea. If anything, Obelix's readily bursting into tears shows a very sensitive, one might say almost effeminate, side to him.
Obelix sleeps at Asterix's 1-bedroom place regularly despite having his own home. And they're French. What further proof do we need?

I figured you meant that book. And it still proves nothing.
For starters, It shows that Obelix is very obviously extremely awkward around women, though not men. Another big hint there.
2nd, He makes no move on her, let alone attempts to consummate the relationship. He appears quite happy just to hang out with girls but make no move on them. Big hint #2.
3rd, they head all the way to Africa to rescue her beau, so she can marry him - leaving Asterix and Obelix again with each other. A real man would have comforted her on her loss, if you know what I mean. Look at this way: Asterix, worried that his bum-buddy might switch buses, first convinces Obelix to join the army with him (amry eh? mmmm....hmmm where men are men) then runs off all the way to Africa to retrieve her fiance, thereby ensuring Obelix stays single. strike 3. They're not just gay, but screamingly gay.

Now an outspoken Christian,[12] Norris is the author of several Christian books, such as The Justice Riders. He has also been in a few TV commercials promoting Bible study and prayer in public schools, in addition to efforts to reduce drug use. In 2006, he began penning a column for the conservative news website WorldNetDaily, sharing his "musings about faith, family, freedom, country, loyalty – maybe even kickboxing." In his columns, he has expressed his belief in Biblical creationism,[13] that those who are troubled should turn to Jesus, and is quoted as saying "true patriots" do not stay clear of discussing religion and politics.[14]

Norris serves on the board of directors of the NCBCPS, an organization promoting the use of the Bible in public schools, and also speaks on behalf of organizations advocating official prayers in public schools.

not true. He himself didn't want to go:

As the majority of male leads left Hollywood to serve overseas, John Wayne saw his just-blossoming stardom at risk. Despite enormous pressure from his inner circle of friends, he put off enlisting.
...
Thus, John Wayne did not illegally "dodge" the draft, but he never took direct positive action toward enlistment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne#Military_service_controversy
He was at the start of his career during WWII. Bigger, more established names like Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (USN, Silver Star), Henry Fonda (USN, Bronze Star), Clark Gable (USAAF, Distinguished Flying Cross) James Stewart (USAAC, USAAF, Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, Croix de Guerre) all signed up and, as you can see, fought bravely.
Only Marion - Marion - did not.
He did tour some bases though.

They're French. They don't care about big tits, they probably have weird fetishes, and they don't feel a need to brag about their conquests. I bet Asterix had her ass when no one was looking. As a Frenchman, he probably did all sorts of filthy things that couldn't be shown in a comic that children would read.

And Obelix is recorded as having sired a long line of warriors in Asterix and the Class Act.

It was blindingly obvious he was right from the start. He was a former professional skier and a Quebecian. Can't get much gayer than that...

Chewbacca is gay!

"Han Solo seems to be Chewbacca's partner in crime, and part of some Gay Marriage, who helps Chewbacca to eat someone's balls.They were last spotted in Yellowstone National Park, where a troop of Boy Scouts have been reported missing for eight days. "

Northstar even experienced a crush on the long-time X-Man Iceman, though it was a one-sided love.

Shortly before Northstar admitted he was gay, he was voted Canada's most eligible bachelor, in the Alpha Flight series.

Tintin and other such graphic novels are not for children, though children often read them. I would assume that the Tinitin series in particular was aimed at young adults or adolescents, while Asterix was aimed at adults.

Just because US comics were written for kids doesn't mean the rest of the world did the same thing.

Cracked.com did an article about childrens' characters that are gay. One was Dave from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Let's see. He has three exotic pets dressed in dress-like moomoos with their initials on it. His front lawn is a little TOO perfectly manicured. He leaves the chipmunks in the care of someone grossly incompetent just so he can go on "business trips" to exotic locations where he can shop for antiques.

And at least one smurf. You have hundreds upon hundreds of smurfs and only two are female. And one is underage. So either they wait two weeks in line just for a few awkward moments with Smurfetto or they heed nature's call and smurf eachother until the cows come home.

And of course Tintin is gay. Spongebob's not gay. He's just overly friendly and flamboyant. He's just a friendly Frenchman that isn't smelly. He cries because he's secretly French.

Stewies bisexual. He's had "fantasies" of both men and women.

Han Solo is quite clearly in a relationship with that furry Chewbacca
I had a prof who saw Gays in every piece of literature he read.

Moby Dick? Fine, fair cop. Ishmael and Queequeg had it going on. But he went on about a couple other stories then said Huck and Jim were having a homosexual affair in Huckleberry Finn. It was his theory that in any lit where there are two male characters who are close and who are of different colors, there MUST be a homosexual relationship.

So I raise my hand and said, OMG, you're right.... and they have them on kids' shows too. The rest of the class perked up because they knew I disagreed with him...

So I said, "Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street. One: Bert is light skinned and Ernie is dark. Two: Bert's head is clearly phallic whereas Ernie's resembles the female genitalia. And Ernie clearly has a fetish for rubber since he's never without his rubber duckie. Have you ever THOUGHT OF the lyrics to Rubber Duckie?"

He 100% took me seriously. I wonder if my "analysis" made it into his next paper?

I'm also suspicious of Bruce Wayne - handsome, obscenely rich yet lives alone with a manservant and a young man. Said bit of jailbait he's talked into dressing up into very tight and very revealing spandex to indulge Wayne's fantasies. And he can't maintain any form of relationship with a woman neither. The causal relationships he has are just desperate, sad, attempts by him to hide his true nature.

No, the casual relationships are supposed to make him look like a playboy to throw people off the fact that he's Batman. Robin's outfit is a bit... odd, but that goes for most super heros. I do think the Joker's made allusions to a supposed relationship between the two in-universe (though that could just be explained as him being a crazy S.O.B.;)).

On a related note, my brother claim's Batman's butler is supposed to be gay in The Dark Knight. Anyone have any idea what he's talking about?

When Mickey and Minnie were married Mickey filed for divorce the judge said to Mickey, I'm sorry Mickey but you cannot get divorced on grounds that Minnie is crazy. Mickey replied I didn't say she was crazy I said she was fucking Goofy.

You've still got billions upon billions of male smurfs and only so many can gangsmurf Smurfetto. Also, this isn't a smurgalitarian smurftopia. It's a smurftatership and if Papa Smurf wants to smurf Smufette like there's no tomorrow, then he's going to smurf Smurfette like there's no tomorrow. No smurf wants to be banished to Smurfberia to smurf in the gulags. That's why they all "love" and obey Papa Smurf and proudly smurf eachother.
