Intro
(1:52) Andrea Stratis
(3:09) Is Andrea into comics?
Pride
(24:58) Midnighter is one of the most violent characters in DC. Is he an analogy for not judging personalities based on who they love or being the released pent-up frustration of some non-binary?
(33:01) Why is Midnighter so cool?
(36:47) Was it worth losing Obsidian to gain New 52 Alan Scott?
(42:47) Who is the most surprising character to come out?
(49:35) How’d you feel about Alan Scott being re-imagined as a gay character in the New 52?
(50:10) What characters would be hurt by having their LGBTQ status removed? Which ones would not be affected?
(57:57) How do you feel about some older stories handling gay characters and how that has evolved over the years?
(1:08:13) Do you feel like there has been enough representation in DC?
(1:20:29) Can you explain more about Coagula as a representation of LGBTQ characters in comics?
(1:25:26) With so many demons, aliens, and other beings, is there more room for pan-sexuality in comics?
(1:32:48) Are there any gay villains in the DC universe?
