Interesting Quote: James Gunn


A couple of years ago I wrote a blog that was meant to be satirical and funny. In rereading it over the past day I don’t think it’s funny. The attempted humor in the blog does not represent my actual feelings. However, I can see where statements were poorly worded and offensive to many. I’m sorry and regret making them at all.

People who are familiar with me as evidenced by my Facebook page and other mediums know that I’m an outspoken proponent for the rights of the gay and lesbian community, women and anyone who feels disenfranchised, and it kills me that some other outsider like myself, despite his or her gender or sexuality, might feel hurt or attacked by something I said. We’re all in the same camp, and I want to do my best to make this world a better place for all of us. I’m learning all the time. I promise to be more careful with my words in the future. And I will do my best to be funnier as well. Much love to all.

Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director under fire for Homophobic and Sexist Article

Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director James Gunn got a reality check the other day. The filmmaker created this "The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With" list with some graphic and horrible blurbs under several superheroes.

In fact, some of them are homophobic, see here:

This list sparked outrage and questions about James' character. A few geek sites called out James' foolishness and there's a petition on Change.org demanding Marvel/Disney to remove James from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

James, don't you know? Geeky Gays and girls run this show. You better watch your back.
