Hasn't almost every superhero been "outed" as gay by now? Getting tiresome.

Nope.
To be honest I can only think of two heroes who are gay, and one is a retcon.

Who only Batwoman? Even in the 1940s comics, Batman had some suggestive dialogue. Just enough to stay under the radar, due to the true homophobia of the time.

You mad a hot chick is bisexual?
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

THAT is what's truly offensive. Changing years of continuity to promote this crap agenda.

It's pretty stupid that they'd rather overwrite and retcon current heroes than, y'know, create brand new, original, gay characters. The comic book industry is creatively lazy and bankrupt.

What's the percentage of LGBTQ people in the US? I heard it was less than 1%. That gives you the answer right there. A new LGBTQ comic book character wouldn't sell enough. They have to transition an existing hero to sell the comic books and they have to hope that they don't alienate so many readers that they stop collecting.

2014 survey said 1.6% and an additional 0.7% are bisexual.

How is this a retcon? Wonder Woman being interested in women has been implied for the longest time now.
