Where was it said he was straight? From what I remember he had a thing for Lois Lane, now he's bisexual. Maybe he's got over his thing for LL and met someone else he prefers.

That was his dad.

Changes made to fictional character, outrage caused.

If they want a gay super hero why don't they invent a gay super hero instead of "converting" a straight one?

I'm guessing there is more to this than we know?

West London man, 24, jailed for 25 years in Dubai after police find CBD oil in his car
Billy Hood's family are devastated by the sentence.

A young man from West London has been jailed for 25 years in Dubai after police found four tiny bottles of harmless cannabis oil he said were left in his car by a friend.

Billy Hood, who works as a football coach in the United Arab Emirates, said he was forced to confess to a false statement written in Arabic by heavy-handed detectives.

The 24-year-old from Kensington, said he did not know the bottles of CBD oil and a vape pen were left in his company vehicle after giving a friend from London a lift to the airport two weeks before his arrest.

He was with another friend at his apartment on January 31 when Dubai police pointed a Taser in his face as he went to his car to retrieve a phone charger.

The officers handcuffed Mr Hood and threatened to electrocute him if he refused to cooperate, then demanded to see the drugs, but Mr Hood claims he no idea what they were talking about.

Mr Hood, who describes himself as an anti-drugs fitness fanatic, thought they had the wrong man and volunteered his property and body to be searched.

The officers told Mr Hood they were interested in him due to social media, but never asked for his phone or computer, his legal team said.

Cops found a few thousand pounds in cash in his apartment that his new employer paid him in cash while his bank account was being set up, Mr Hood said.

This was confirmed by his bosses and written in his contract, lawyers acting for Mr Hood said.

Officers also arrested Mr Hood's friend when they discovered him in the apartment.

Mr Hood allowed police to search his company car and gave a urine sample as he believed he had nothing to hide.

Using CBD oil in a vape is legal in Britain and is often used to relieve pain, anxiety and stress, but as it still has traces of THC - the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis - Mr Hood was detained under the UAE's strict drug laws.

There must have been something strong on his social media to prompt that reaction.

That's the next method for cheap publicity when sales drop again.

What. A. Cvnt.

Mr Allott [North Yorkshire police commissioner] told BBC Radio York:

"So women, first of all, need to be streetwise about when they can be arrested and when they can't be arrested. She should never have been arrested and submitted to that.

Perhaps women need to consider in terms of the legal process, to just learn a bit about that legal process."

The cvnt has resigned.

Is he super-gay?

Good grief

[Docca]

RIP. That’s disgusting.

[v8-powered]

Absolutely shocking news.

[JackyJoll]

Oh cheer up chums!

[JackyJoll]

Absolutely shocking news.

Seems they’ve arrested a Somali bloke.

[Taipan]

Real shocker. Amess was our local MP for years and lived just up the road to my Mum. Very personable man, who would say good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone he passed in the street when walking his dog etc. He was even liked as a person by non Tory voters. Most of the kind words you'll hear being said about him will be true and not just lip service from colleagues. There's a very real sense of shock locally!

I don't have a problem with the so called online hatemongers, keep them in plain sight. Rather that than hidden away in cells, distributing secret hatey (brexit) parchments to fellow hatees. People are lazy, maybe 10 minutes online vitriol keeps them sane and reduces the chance of them going stabbing.

And a shout out for the trolls, equally to blame, if we're blaming.

Anyway RIP. Fortunately these incidents are rather rare.
