"The Scottish Parliament has introduced a motion in support of Marvel Comics&amp;#039; gay wedding. Scottish Labour Party MSP Mary Fee lodged the motion, which was supported by eight of her colleagues, reports Robot 6.  The motion states: &amp;quot;That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Marvel comic, X-Men, will feature its first same-sex marriage, which will feature Northstar, believed to be the first openly gay comic superhero; understands that, in 1992, Marvel was the first comic publisher to reveal a gay superhero; notes that Northstar is not the first gay character to have had a same-sex marriage in the comic book world, and agrees that same-sex marriage should not be restricted to the world of literature and fantasy.&amp;quot; The declaration has no legislative weight but is made as an expression of support. A similar motion recently marked Eddie Izzard&amp;#039;s effort to run 27 marathons in 27 days as a tribute to Nelson Mandela. Astonishing X-Men #50 saw X-Man Northstar propose to his lover Kyle. The following issue will feature the wedding. Right-wing religious group One Million Moms has launched a protest against the comic. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
