Al Mohler Goes Too Far In Condemning Lesbian Batwoman

While Albert Mohler should be commended for speaking out against DC Comics' new lesbian Batwoman on his June 1, 2006 broadcast, he goes too far in saying that grown men who read comics need to grow up.

As a form of literature combining both text and illustration in the presentation of its narrative, why should this medium be anymore ridiculed than the fantasy of C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien that Christians leaders seem to latch onto?

Is he going to come out against the oddity of so-called more "masculine" men sitting around watching men in tight pants romping up and down on one another as they attempt to move a pig-skin ball down a field?

At least superheroes run around in odd costumes for a noble purpose.
