Okay, raise your hand: who else here is a gigantic Buffy fan? . . . Oh, wait, that's right. We're not actually personally connected, so I can't see who is and who is not raising their hands. Oh well, I'm just going to assume that you're all raising your hands because everyone loves Buffy.

Now that that's settled, on to the focal point! After the show ended in the seventh season with -- spoiler alerts, although at this point if you can't catch a 15-year-old show on Netflix, you do not deserve fun, unspoiled shows -- The Hellmouth closed, and every potential slayer awakened. The show seemed to be more or less wrapped up. But then they decided to continue the series as a comic book, dubbed by fans as "Season 8," which became part of the canon and introduced new themes and characters that they could never get to on the show. And now, for the first time ever, the Buffy universe is getting a gay male "slayer."

"Billy is someone who sees a need in his hometown and steps up to fill the void, even at great personal risk," says Greenberg. "He may not have the actual powers of the Slayers, but he's determined to be his own kind of hero, one who's sort of modeled after those who do have the power, and he sets out to make due with what he has. In the process, I think he hopes to follow the lead of all the strong, powerful Slayers who came before him and live up to the standard they set."

Well, he's not technically a slayer, so much as he's a kid who happens to kick ungodly amounts of ass, but still, a self-made slayer is still a slayer.

Also, slightly off-topic here but still part of the Buffy universe: does anyone else wonder if there will ever be a full-fledged male-to-female transgender slayer? At the risk of getting all politically nerdy, I feel like that would be kind of kickass. Anyway, end of personal daydream.

I don't care how jaded and cynical a person claims to be; everyone has a fantasy wedding. It doesn't matter how much you bitch and moan about how marriage is a form of slavery: if you could exchange vows with the love of your life while flying around in jetpacks on the moon, you know you would.

For a gay couple of 20 years, this meant recreating the now iconic group wedding scene from The Astonishing X-Men No 51 between Northstar and Kyle Jinadu. Yes, it looks awesome. Yes, it was probably a logistical nightmare getting everyone together and in the proper places. And yes, it's adorable as hell and probably totally worth it.

If you haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises yet, then chances are you've probably already heard everyone you know saying how great it is and how Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is the best part. I haven't actually seen it, so I have no idea if that's true or not, but Catwoman is the shit and Anne Hathaway is more often than not the best part of any movie she's in.

Except now it looks like Catwoman has somehow become even more impossibly awesome than she already is: Michael Musto, of The Village Voice, seems to think that Hathaway's Selina Kyle may have been a lesbian.

Her affection for men seems distinctly manipulative, whereas she obviously has a true connection with her sidekick, Jen - -played by British actress Juno Temple -- who's all over her like a Labels for Less suit.   

These two are into each other even more than Bruce Wayne and his credit cards.   

And guess what comic strip lovers the world over know like the back of their hands?   

Jen bears a strong resemblance to Holly Robinson, the sidekick of Selina, who in Catwoman, vol 3 shared an apartment with Selina (as she had before) and was revealed to be a lesbian!   

Knowing Hollywood, they probably changed it from "Holly Robinson" to "Jen" just so you couldn't make that connection, but the fact is, the two of them seem extremely sapphic in their same-sex-tastic exploits. 

Admittedly, tenuous evidence at best, but for the sake of wishful thinking, I'd really like this to be true. I mean, if they ever decide to give Hathaway her own Catwoman movie -- I know, they tried that already with Halle Berry; it didn't end well -- seeing a lesbian superhero in a summer blockbuster would be kinda kickass in all the right ways. 

In case you were paying too much attention to Rob Ford's eye rolls, which are among his body's many, many other rolls, and forgot that the man is not intrinsically evil (although he is super dickish), here's a quick piece to remind you that there is still a little good here and there.

During the shootings in Norway, which left 76 people dead, Hege Dalen and Toril Hansen, a lesbian couple who were eating nearby the camp, noticed kids swimming away from the shooter, so they fired up their boat and managed to save 40 kids. But wait, it gets even more insane. It turns out they were being shot at by the crazy fundie terrorist the entire time. Basically, these two saw kids being shot at by a raging lunatic, said, "Fuck that guy, let's save some kids" and faced a swarm of bullets to save 40 complete strangers. If you take anything away from this, it's that (A) these women were badass heroes who stood up to terrorism for the sake of saving their country's future, and (B) most lesbians are probably Wonder Woman. Or vice versa.
