In the wake of the #GiveElsaAGirlfriend campaign Twitter erupted Monday night with calls to turn one of America's most manly superheroes gay.

Many were excited by the idea of #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend, and The WrapThe IndependentMirrorE!OnlineThe Los Angeles Times and others quickly publicized the trend.

However, the idea remained highly controversial on Twitter. Several important questions were left unanswered:

One person tweeted: "I suspect that most of those who want to don't read  comics nor watch Captain America movies."

Another tweeted: "I'm 99% sure Tony Stark is behind"

As some Twitter users put it, not everyone has to be gay, and gays could at least make their own character.
