Conservative Christian group One Million Moms has launched a campaign against the gay wedding of X-men Northstar and Kyle Jinadu.
The pair got engaged in Marvel’s Astonishing X-men #50 and will tie the knot in the following comic, making comic book history as the first ever same sex wedding in the superhero world.
The Christian group were not impressed, saying “Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, “I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?”
“This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don’t but do want to indoctrinate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light.
“These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children’s superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable.
“As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin.”
The group are also targeting DC after the publisher announced that one of their most popular characters will be coming out soon.
