Ever-entitled opposition seeks comical balance
Focus on the Family president Jim Daly thinks that, in order to be fair, Marvel and DC have to include his "side" in future editions of their gay-inclusive comics:

Oh come on, Mr. Daly. Our world might still be all-too-accepting of the idea that benign peace and outward condemnation are simply two sides of a national conversation, but that doesn't mean
fictional realms have to buy into contrived "culture war" constraints. Perhaps if our world was faced with the sort of doom and gloom so common to the superhero realm, we too would find some perspective on what does and does not constitute a threat.
