Are there actually LGBT comic book characters?
LGBT comic characters have existed for decades now, in every arena from underground, self-published books to mainstream superhero comics. Some examples from the mainstream include Northstar and Rawhide Kid from Marvel Comics, and Extrano and Maggie Sawyer from DC Comics. Extrano, a character who first appeared in Millennium in 1988, was the first openly gay superhero, but Marvel’s Northstar got more media exposure since he “came out” in 1992 after over ten years as an established character.
