Nope. Aside from establishing male companions from time to time, I didn’t plan to portray Northstar differently from anybody else.

A remarkably progressive approach, even with forty years hindsight.

I recall you having a gay couple in TRIO/TRIPLE HELIX and it was handled just as matter-of-factly.

I started reading Alpha Flight when I was a pre-teen, 11 or 12. Left when JB left. I remember reading much later that Northstar was gay, how JB had sort of hinted at it, etc. I was surprised. Went back and read it at 20, and it was all there. It really taught me a lesson on writing for multiple audience levels at once without insulting any of them. Really well done.
I salute you, sir.
