Of course Batwoman is gay

Renee Montoya is a great (and I think popular?) character who is not only gay, but whose sexuality has been used to great narrative effect (Half a Life). Now she's a fairly prominent superhero as the Question, but doesn't have a soap opera space befitting her stature.

Therefore, more gay women will pop up in the DC universe, which is good and healthy (particularly for Renee). It's obviously not the only reason for Kate Kane, but it's a natural fit, and in Rucka's hands seems pretty cool.

(I am a very infrequent comics fan, but I pay attention to Rucka and Morrison every six months or so ^_^)
