He should read comics more, get a better understand of how things work. Peter Parker of 616 is a straight male, which recently made a deal with the devil to make it so his marriage didn't happen and his secret identity remained secret to save the life of his Aunt.

That doesn't mean a new person who has Spider-man powers, wears a Spider-man costume or has the Spider-man mantle can't be gay. The reason Spider-man isn't? It's because Peter Parker isn't.

Stan Lee is right, changing characters to fit a profile is not the right step. It would be better to make new ones to fit, this is what Marvel are doing (kinda). Female Thor isn't Thor Odinson (see Earth X for that), Mike Morales is a Spider-man but not the Spiderman and socalled 'Black Captain America' is Falcon, Sam Wilson as the Captain America mantle while Cap is inexplicably old. I'm ignoring the Iceman thing, that's a little messed up.

And besides the Spider-man (or woman) of Earth-8545 is gay. Or was, she's dead like a lot of Spider-totems.

 

Marvel is messed up at the moment.

Iceman thing?
