Superheroes Hate Bullies

By Comic Booked Guest Writer Features 10/20/2010

Comic Booked, It Gets Better, Wear purple for spirit day — Northstar – Alpha Flight and X-Men

Today, October 20, is wear purple for Spirit Day. It’s not only to remember those who felt suicide was the only way to deal with bullying, but to also make gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens know that they are not alone. It gets better. And you may not know this, but there are openly proud, gay and lesbian superheroes. I’m going to showcase some from the Marvel and DC universes. Please comment and share any other heroes (or villains) I may have missed.
