@chrisgeidner@gabrielmalor@samfbiddle No, Peter Parker cannot be black or gay. Spider-man isn't necessarily Peter Parker. Get over it. -
@epobirs@gabrielmalor@samfbiddle There is a no-homo policy across the board for Spider-Man unless Marvel has a gay alter ego first.

@chrisgeidner@samfbiddle@sarahjeong By my reading, that's "can't be gay unless Marvel writes it first." -
@sarahjeong@SherwinPK@samfbiddle Yes, dork squad. -
@chrisgeidner@SherwinPK@samfbiddle don't lie, you want to play statutory interpretation of the Spiderman guidelines too

@chrisgeidner All that says is that *Peter Parker* can't be race- or sexuality-flipped, in any story in which "Spider-Man" refers to him. -
@chrisgeidner Which, yes, is still a huge deal; but he's not the only Spider-Man out there, or the only possible one. -
@MatthewAFrost As noted here, the "no-homo" policy applies across the board unless Marvel has a gay alter-ego.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/611940146687135744 …

@chrisgeidner So, no conversion of existing presumed-straight characters, unless the rights-holder/designee makes a new gay character. -
@MatthewAFrost@chrisgeidner Which is, by the way, exactly what is happening with Iceman of the X-men. Not unheard of.

@casualcactii In The Marvel live show Spiderman is played by a black guy. He was at NW this week doing interviews for the show.
