Interracial Wedding Bells at Marvel Comics

Follow me on:

It was legal gay marriage in New York State that led to the addition of a new interracial gay romance at Marvel Comics.

"When gay marriage became legal in New York State, it raised obvious questions since most of our heroes reside in New York State. Northstar is the first openly gay character in comics and he's been in a longterm relationship with his partner Kyle so the big question was - how would this change his relationship?," Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso told Rolling Stone.

In the #51 issue of Astonishing X-Men (out June 20th), Northstar will propose to longtime partner Kyle. Marvel outed Northstar back in 1992, but Marjorie Liu felt it was time his relationship with Kyle deepened.

"Here are two people, trying to live their lives - mutant and gay, black and gay - empowered in their own ways, but also fringe-dwellers," says Liu. "And they're making it happen. They're living life on their own terms. It doesn't matter that it's a superhero comic, the message is: You can do the same thing."
