doesn't matter. implying that someone's sexual orientation changes because they've been raped is the kind of thing that makes people feel weird about the victims of sexual assault. it's not fair. for that matter, it's also the kind of thing that makes homophobes so paranoid about completely innocent gay people.

If DC wanted to REALLY break some new ground and not just do this for cash grab, they'd turn Nightwing. Doing this also gives a good writer a chance to explore the potential psychological effects that Dick may have had from when he was raped, and how it led to his new position. Also, the Bat Family is usually the center of major changes in DC (Barbara= used to be crippled, Damien = for all intents and purposes Bruce and Talia's clone, plus the seemingly pre-requisite family tragedy origin). Dick Grayson's also comicdom's biggest manwhore, though. it'd be REALLY out of character if he was suddenly gay. there's a reason people freaked at the vary notion of DC going with Wally, and Dick would be even more ridiculous for the same reason. also, as someone who was sexually assaulted as a child and left with HUGE issues about what that meant for my sexual identity, I (and many others no doubt) would be more than a little offended at the idea that being raped turns you gay. See, that's why I wanted to word my statement properly, and I apologize if I offended you in any way. I don't believe sexual assault will turn you homo sexual at all. I just consider with the character history, and feel it'd be a more interesting path per se, to traverse for a writer, then this seemingly random cash grab, which is what I think of this. If they really wanted to do it, just do it, don't announce it. You also make a good point about the manwhoring, but that'd be a helluva lot easier to explain lol.
