Dive deeper into the world of Kate Kane with our list of essential Batwoman comics
Batwoman has never been a shy hero. With all the publicity she's getting these days - some effusive, some toxic - she and her fans need a bit of armor and an ability to roll with the punches.
From her first appearance in the panels of Detective Comics and on screen in last fall's Dctv crossover event, Elseworlds, Kate Kane's self-assured demeanor and dry sense of humor have been part and parcel of who she is, just like her tattoos, Jewish faith, and identity as a queer woman have always been there. While the crimson-and-black member of the Bat family has only been around since 2006, she has a nuanced origin story that has been handled with care. Kate Kane comes with plenty of villains, friends, family, and exes to get into trouble with,...

Former Army Lt. Dan Choi is a cheerful, upbeat man. Even over the phone, the crusading gay activist is infectiously enthusiastic and passionate. But he is also very clearly exhausted.
Choi, who made headlines (and lost his job) when he came out on the "Rachel Maddow Show" in 2009, is currently embroiled in a dramatic legal struggle that has taken several twists and turns. The judge will hear final testimony in the case Thursday in Washington, D.C.
The West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran could go to jail for up to six months for protesting the U.S. military's so-called "don't ask, don't tell" (Dadt) policy banning gays from serving openly, a policy that was repealed by President Obama in 2011.
Choi's drama started in November of 2010, when Dadt was still in full force. Choi, along with 12 other protesters, all shouting "let us serve," chained themselves to the White House fence.

Everett Collection Scene from “A Few Good Men,” 1992, with Jack Nicholson
Last weekend, the remaining soldiers deployed as part of U.S. combat missions in Iraq came home to the welcoming arms of their families. But tens of thousands of American troops remain in the field in Afghanistan. And, as the longest war in our nation’s history continues into the new year, commentators are noting unsettling parallels between the controversial deaths of two soldiers fighting in that campaign — both...

Back in October of 2007 we put together a compendium of what we considered the greatest gay moments from The Daily Show's video archives. Everything from Jon Stewart sparring with Bill Bennett over gay marriage in 2006 all the way back to a hilarious 1999 Boy George interview by Beth Littleford.
But when it comes to Lgbt issues, Jon and his band of fake news reporters were just getting started. After all, in recent years they've had Dadt, Prop 8, Ken Reker, Nom and Maggie Gallagher and more to skewer.
Here are some of the best and most pointedly gay-supportive Daily Show moments since 2007. Did we miss something substantive? Feel free to add your favorites to the comments!
Interview with Mike Huckabee, Pt. 2

Jon Stewart continues racking up the gay ally points as he nails just what's so offensive about opposition to marriage equality based on "faith." Oh, Stewart starts out nice and finishes nice,...

Well, it was weird enough when the White House said that President Obama was going to be on Mythbusters. Now he’s booked himself on The Daily Show on October 27th, just before the “Rally to Restore Sanity.” How is this going to help Democrats in the election? I’m staring at Republican ads nonstop talking about liberals inviting a comedian (Stephen Colbert) to Congress then going home without passing tax reform. This is just feeding the fire.
The CW is developing a musical/dancing show called Acting Out that takes place at a summer camp. It's described as Glee meets Bad Santa, so I'm expecting a darker tone.
Dan Choi is too old to be a Marine, but pending medical tests, he’s signed up to be in the Army. Meanwhile, in San Diego, a former Marine tried to re-enlist only to be told they didn’t know if they had room for him,...
