Apparently a collection of Spider-man PSA comics were released as a trade a couple of years ago but I could never find a single copy anywhere. I'd give anything to own the one where he fights an alien who opposes sex ed.

The best Spidey PSA comic was one put out in the 70's by Marvel and Planned Parenthood. Spider-Man thwarts a alien; the Prodigy; who comes to Earth and tries to convince teens to have a lot of unprotected sex so he can steal their babies and take them back to his homeworld as slave labor.

It's amazing

The Prodigy’s voice took on its special magnetic powers when the rocket ship coming from his native planet, Intellectia, in the Andromeda Galaxy, passed through the earth’s ionosphere. Because of weak deflector shields his vocal cords were exposed to intense heat and radiation. On Earth, his voice draws people to him like a vacuum cleaner.

It effectively was in the mid 70s, as the big-ticket diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea were all bacterial and easily curable, while the heavy-duty viral ones would come later - even genital herpes wasn't medically recognised until the late 70s/early 80s.

That was the one that revealed Peter Parker was molested as a kid. It also had a young boy Spider-Man was helping abused by an older woman so it was kind of progressive in that regard.

I always kind of considered it plausibly canon that Peter was abused as a child. His personality was partly developed based on childhood trauma and vulnerability in the first place, and I don't know, it'd be kind of inspiring for someone who went through that to grow up to be Spider-man.

That's probably pretty stupid, but not as stupid as Mark Millar thinking that Spider-man being raped is hilarious and joking about bringing his rapist back as a super-villain who fucks people in the rear end.

Pretty sure "being attracted to a person who's of the same sex" is the textbook definition of homosexuality, Spidey.

:stare: More info on this please. Here I thought Kevin Smith's arc where Black Cat talks about that time she was raped was a standalone example of awfulness.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homosexual

quote:

1: of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
I'm not denying bisexuality or any of the other shades of human sexuality, but if you're attracted to a member of the same sex you're exhibiting a homosexual attraction, that is literally what the word means. I supposed if you want to get pedantic a bisexual person is not "a homosexual", but I really don't think that's what the authors of that page were implying. That line just struck me as a really weird way of trying to force denial on the kids, like "Don't worry bro, you can totally be attracted to guys without being one of those gays!", but I guess something like trying to say it's totally okay to be attracted to someone of the same sex would have been too progressive for the 70's.

But I'm not going to participate in this derail anymore, here's Wonder Woman double-fisting Superman in the balls. No idea of the source, but there are surprisingly few images of Superman getting hit in the balls that come up in a image search.

It's just saying that having a close emotional bond or a passing sexual thought about a same sex friend doesn't mean you're gay. A homosexual attraction doesn't make you any more a homosexual than a heterosexual attraction does the opposite - it's all about the degree of exclusivity.
