WHY are we always written as wanting to have children!!!! GAWD!!! It's like there was a memo that went out that said every gay guy MUST want marriage and kids and the military and it's suddenly the 1950s all over again!

If you don't mind my asking, where are you getting this idea from? I hope that doesn't sound snarky or rude; its not intended to be. I'm just genuinely confused. Apollo and Midnighter (along with the Authority) conquered America, got married, adopted Jenny Q. Todd and Damon have mentioned talking about it (and apparently Andreyko planned on having them get married in issue #50, if rumors are to be believed). And, that's it, I think?

Almost all of DC's queer characters have had romantic interests at some point, and none of them have expressed any interest in marriage or kids. None of Marvel's have that I can recall.

OTOH, a series with Damon scheming ala Lois Lane would be a hoot.

Agreed, but he's been the one raising objections to marriage and kids all along. At this point, I'd settle for just having him back regularly in a book. After the first cancellation (issue #25), he all but disappeared from Manhunter except in issue #34 (the pirate cosplay comment scene). Its really refreshing to have a non-butch gay guy who doesn't descend into offensive stereotyping.
