sorry if this is a question you get a lot, gail, but considering there is a large number of queer women in the world of batman but queer men are near non-existent, do you think more queer male characters should come out/be created? (personally i think two-

Yes, I absolutely do, which is part of why I made Catman canonically bi.

I don’t doubt that a lot of the lesbian characters were created with the best of intentions, I don’t. But it’s also true that for many people, super-hot gay WOMEN are a lot more palatable than a gay man, and that’s just insulting to everyone.

I am trying to do something about it, I’ve created several gay male characters but I only have one mainstream book right now.  We need to get everyone on board. I love Batwoman and Scandal and all of those great characters. I want them to get a lot of love and exposure.

But it’s absolutely glaring and ridiculous how few gay male heroes there are at the big two. It’s too crystal clear to be accidental.
