Spiderman, Spiderman, straight and white like a Spiderman is

The latest tidbit to come out from the Sony hack is the list of demands Marvel made to Sony when licensing the 'Spider-Man' flicks. The emails show the "mandatory character traits" needed to cast the "proper" Spider-Man/Peter Parker, which include (but are not limited to): male, does not have sex before the age of 16, not a homosexual, and Caucasian (white). However, it was mentioned that Spidey can be gay if "Marvel has portrayed that alter ego as a homosexual." The interesting thing about all of this is that the contract went into effect in September 2011, shortly after a black-latino Spider-Man was introduced in the comic book world. Seriously, guys, I think it is time we had a gay and/or black Spidey.
