Lesbians and "Narek"

So.. apparently some idiot decided that it was "funny" to make a joke that the mysterious "Narek" title on the DCU title should be a Zatanna and PowerGirl story with them as lesbians similar to Strangers in Paradise. So I responded that I thought that was gross and pervy. He got very upset and threw a fit that I was being "preachy" and that it was a joke and well a bunch of stupid stuff that made no sense. He suggested that I was over-reacting and that I had issues for implying that taking two heterosexual women and making them into lesbians was pervy and that there was something wrong with ME for that. When I asked HIM if he would be OK if someone implied the same with two MALE heroes that they should enter into a homosexual relationship together, he refused to answer the question and instead state out and out that the new DCU means that EVERYTHING is new. DC has clearly stated NUMEROUS times that that is not true. Not to mention that if you've been reading the new DCU, it's obvious that it's not all new. The 4 Batman Titles, the Green Lantern titles, Legion of Super-Heroes, Hawk and Dove, Swamp Thing, Red Hood and the Outlaws and Animal Man all state that there are events that we have read form the old DC Universe that are still in play. So no, it is NOT all new.

BTW if you want to joke that "Narek" is a Zatanna/PowerGirl title because Narek is Karen backwards and Karen is Power Girl, Zatanna speaks backwards for her magical powers, why do they HAVE to be lesbians? Why did you HAVE to go there? Why couldn't they just team up? After all, Power Girl is Kryptonian, but she's had magical origins in the past and I think her and Zatanna could team up. I don't know how well the title would work or the team work between them, but sure.. if that's where you want to go for a JOKE, why do they have to be LESBIANS?
