To me this issue boils down to four groups with different perspectives. Group A: Hated the comic's focus on her love life and would have felt the same [u][b]whether she was straight or gay.[/b][/u] This group wanted less of a pre-teen romance novel and more lore on Rasputin and Ana Bray the guardian. This groups thinks the character was poorly written but does not believe her sexuality was the problem. Group B: This group is tired of what they see as minorities being "over-represented" in art and media. They believe white, male, heterosexual characters are being intentionally under-represented. Ana Bray being gay seems like a lazy liberal stunt to these people. Group C: Either liked or disliked the comic book, but wants to be sure that Group B is confronted for what they believe. This group believes that minority groups need to be modeled in important positions within art and media to counterbalance the prevailing white-hetero normative that pervades society. Group D: Usually responds with something humorous/humorless in order to stir the pot or take attention away from a subject they are tired of. Of course, it is possible to fall somewhere in between.
