It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Is There Some Hidden Gay Agenda In The New Wonder Woman Series?

We already know Adrianne Palicki has some big shoes to fill, but can Elizabeth Hurley pull "the evil villian?" David E. Kelley and Warner Bros. seem to think so.  She will be playing Veronica Cale, a founding partner in Cale-Anderson Pharmaceuticals. 


My question is... why is it that every time a villian is cast as the arch-nemesis of the superhero, they are thrown into a gay or bi character?  They don't come out and say it, but the hints are thrown at you.  According to the NBC casting description, the villian is:
 "female, open ethnicity, late 30s to early 40s. Beautiful, highly-educated, highly accomplished, she runs one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country…but she's afflicted with the serious deep-seated Wonder Woman envy. Whatever she is, or will be in life…she'll never be her. And it causes her innards to rot. She loves men, but likes women. There might be an unstated chemistry between her and Wonder Woman, at least on her side."
So pretty much what they're trying to say is that we're going to see some lesbian flirting and possibly even a small lesbian kiss.  This goes for both sides of the spectrum, gay or bi, why even insinuate it.  Just leave the gays out and make straights evil for once.  Hell, Wonder Woman is going to have three identities as it is, and she's straight in each of them.  E online asked it best, Are you excited about the return of Wonder Woman to television? Or are you bracing yourself for another clunky NBC genre drama in the vein of Bionic Woman, Knight Rider, Heroes and The Cape?

Yeah, knowing their track record for superhero tv series, I'm now kinda scared. Heroes had the best chance until it went downhill, so we'll have to see if Mr. Kelly will be able to top that. Dear God, think of the fan boy mob retaliation if he destroys such an iconic image like Wonder Woman. Oh the humanity!

Oh, and I'm already not happy with the villain with gay undertones. Don't do what's already been done and do not already alienate one of Wonder Woman's main fan bases......THE GAYS!
