Actually if anything it sounds like it gonna be more offensive to gay 
people.  The blurb on the CNN site seem to be making him sound like a gay 
stereotype.  There probably going to say he was the first Interior designer 
in the west or something.

Of course I'm more offended that CNN stated that Northstar was in X-men.  
Everyone who is a Marvel comic fan knows hes in Alpha Flight. The Canadian 
equivialant to the Avengers.
