Did the world really need a comic book update of The Flintstones? Well, yeah, maybe it did.
The DC Comics “realistic” reboot, which we first caught wind of via Gay Star News, takes us back to the world of Bedrock and the “gay old time” to be had there.
In Issue #4, Fred and Wilma heads out to meet buddies Adam and Steve near the bar Homo Erectus, and soon enough, they’re off to the gay couple’s wedding.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Afterwards, Fred is asked why he cares about gay people if they don’t breed.
He responds, “Let me be clear. I don’t do anything if Adam and Steve aren’t welcome.”
Here’s why:
I grew up in a tribe of hunter-gatherers. Life was a struggle. It wasn’t always possible for people to take care of their own kids.
“The non-breeders gave our tribe extra hands to help with the children. Having them around often meant the difference between life and death.”
This is basically the “Gay Super Uncles Theory,” which argues that gay people exist in order to help family members survive and increase the likelihood of passing on their genes.
This storyline is from Issue #4, which is out now.
Perhaps this is a good time to watch this video of The B(C)-52’s performing The Flintstones theme.
The footage is grainy because it’s very old.
Or perhaps this Flintstones Winston cigarette ad will tickle your fancy:

I had no idea what silliness I’d find if I clicked on this, but it’s actually pretty interesting!

This Fred is more Patrick Warburton than John Goodman. I like it.

I wonder what they made Barney look like. And also Betty: She was always a hottie, though.

It was so surreal to see the characters look all buffed, and curvy but I appreciate the Adam & Steve storyline. I think it was inclusive without being cheesy. Also those videos definitely give you that whiplash from the time travel. Between that ancient cigarette commercial and the Flintstones movie from the 90s, I’ve definitely had a gay old time this morning!
