Right, 'cause poetry is sooo gay. I mean, c'mon, take a look at Walt Whitman. Err, umm, I mean, uhh, Edna St. Vincent Millay. No, wait, umm...Sappho?

Okay, maybe you have a point there.

Anyway, one of the most iconoclastic elements of Watchmen (which can practically be read as a treastise on the superhero genre) was the "outing" of various superheroes in that universe. Not a major plot point, but another clever take on the traditional superheroic image.
