Amazon wives (Wonder Woman v2 #14, 1988)
For a 1988 Biig 2 comic this was some incredibly up front lesbianism!
And let us not forget this scene!
Reverend Witherspoon: Don’t you miss the sharing God intended for the sexes?
Mnemosyne: Some do. They have sworn themselves to Artemis, the virgin hunter, and Athena, the chaste warrior. Others choose the way of Narcissus. But most of us find satisfaction in each other. (Wonder Woman #38, 1989)
Perez also subtly depicts two of the Amazon priestesses, Menalippe and Penelope, as lovers. They’re shown to share a bed and refer to each other as “beloved”.
