I agree that Marvel wedding number 3 is quite good. It makes sense once you know it's a wedding (which could be done by having a caption), but I just think a picture with two brides is clearer than a picture with two grooms. That's why I preferred the Disney one with Micky Mouse and Minnie.

At the rate this is going, we're going to have a multi-option runoff.
Here's my reasoning for not being really enthusiastic about any of the wedding pictures. They don't indicate that there's a GLBT fanbase, rather than a couple of fans who also happen to be GLBT.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Also, the Marvel pics for me look like the work is buried in the rest of the image.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAt first I thought "Well how are we going to show there's a fanbase? It's not like there's going to be Lady Gaga themed drag queen competitions" ... except I just realized that that probably is a thing.
No actual drag shows came up in a GIS, but these three do show a fanbase.
I went ahead and added them to the poll.
Those don't look very gay, especially the first. I can do better with the Disney ones. rainbow castle◊, gay crowd◊, cozy gay group◊.
I'm not that fond of those but I'd still put them ahead of that godawful "Queers Dig Timelords" cover. Two smug guys just isn't this trope.

That pic is not "tow guys looking smugly".
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThat, and since it's been a week and that's the only thing that has a consensus, it looks like that's what we're going with. It's up, potholed to Doctor Who, and tagged. Caption or no?
Hearing nothing, let's lock up.

My favorite was the #3 wedding, since it showed the Marvel logo, the gay couple, the wedding cake, and the kissing comic characters, all the the same shot. None of the others had all of those things.
