Rawhide Kid to come out of the closet
In February next year, Marvel Comics will be breaking barriers of traditional macho comics characters introducing the first homosexual cowboy - Rawhide Kid. Whether the public will pick this up for reading or not is of secondary importance. Integrating an alternative character into the comics industry is, in itself, a major breakthrough.
Stylish outfit, and smart and funny one-liners are what readers will notice from Rawhide kid. Indeed, this is a welcome move. But the more enlightened ones among us should read the material and see to it that Rawhide Kid doesn't become a showcase of stereotyped male homosexual behavior.
