In their National Study of Youth and Religion, Christian Smith, Kyle Longest, Jonathan Hill, and Kari Christoffersen studied a sample of young people for five years, starting when they were 13 to 17 years old and completing the study when they were 18 to 23, a stage called “emerging adulthood.” As illustrated in this infographic, part of the focus was on Catholic emerging adults. As illustrated, the authors found discouraging numbers for young Catholics staying in the faith as they grew up.

Here’s Marvel’s official PR and artwork for the gay marriage storyline, and you know…well, who doesn’t cry at a wedding? (Click for larger version)
The X-Men, one of the world’s most popular super hero teams, have always been at the forefront of the biggest stories in comic history; and today is no different as Marvel is proud to announce the wedding that has everyone talking! Today, fans worldwide learned on ABC’s The View, that Jean-Paul Beaubier, AKA Northstar and a popular member of the X-Men, proposes to his boyfriend Kyle Jinadu in Astonishing X-Men #50, on-sale tomorrow in comic stores, on the Marvel Comics app and at the Marvel Digital Comics Shop. The creative team of New York Times best-sellers Marjorie Liu (X-23¸ the urban fantasy Hunter Kiss series and the Dirk & Steele paranormal romances) and Mike Perkins (Stephen King’s The Stand) have put Northstar and Kyle’s relationship to the test—and now they’re about to take their biggest step yet. But will their path to wedded matrimony in New York City be smooth or are there hidden dangers around the corner?
“The Marvel Universe has always reflected the world outside your window, so we strive to make sure our characters, relationships and stories are grounded in that reality,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor in Chief. “We’ve been working on this story for over a year to ensure Northstar and Kyle’s wedding reflects Marvel’s “world outside your window” tradition.”
Then, on June 20th, don’t miss the wedding of Northstar and Kyle in the pages of Astonishing X-Men #51! This unforgettable issue features covers by Dustin Weaver and Marko Djurdjevic, along with a special “Create Your Own Wedding” blank variant cover!

“The story of Northstar and Kyle is universal, and at the core of everything I write: a powerful love between two people who have to fight for it against all odds,” s
Kyle Webster is a seriously talented illustrator and designer that doesn't take himself too serious. Case in point - his viral video,
Original Design Gangsta he created back in 2006 that has an impressive 269,800 views on
You Tube.
Don't let the video fool you though. Kyle Webster is a hard working, professional sought after by some big league players. His client list includes
The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and
USA Today. And his work has been recognized by
Communication Arts, Graphis and
Print Magazine.
Kyle's
illustrations and logo designs are examples of work built on a strong foundation of good conceptual thinking that comes to fruition through the skillful hand of an accomplished artist. His logos are deceivingly simple. They deliver their message instantly. However, only other designers and illustrators can appreciate the long hours and hundreds of thumbnail sketches that must go into his logos behind the scenes. Kyle's illustrations are rich in color and texture and his line-work is brilliant. Every line Kyle places on paper has a purpose.
That’s some astonishingly poor interior artwork.
I notice that Puck and Doop are eyeing each other lustily.
Marvel must be a little put out over the fact that DC has all the press.
Drudgereport.com has the DC story up and nothing about poor Marvel’s gay wedding.
Question – is this the first time Kyle’s surname has been mentioned?
@Harmen, I think that might actually be Bruce Jenner proposing in the last panel.
So how long before this Kyle fellow is dead or the marriage just ceases to exist through reboot/retcon/some nonsense involving Mephisto? That is what happens to every marriage in superhero comics, isn’t it?
Seriously, what the hell is Storm wearing on that cover?
That’s the funniest part of it, Nick – there’s not a single straight superhero in the Marvel universe who’s married to a non-superhero!
Oh, Marvel… such a desperate need for attention.
Why does the guy being proposed to have that expression on his face? Take out the dialogue and wedding ring and you’d think he was being offered a beer enema or something.
@Ron That’s not Storm on the cover. I don’t know who it is, as I haven’t read X-Men in quite a while, but if you look at the wrap-around cover, Storm can clearly be seen on the far right, and that other character is on the left next to the grey rocky dude.
OH! And yeah, my reaction to that character’s costume was the same as yours.
It’s Warbird. I thought those markings on her face looked familiar (Shi’ar).
Yeah, caught that after I posted. Still, what the hell?
X-MEN: STILL, WHAT THE HELL? may just be the best idea for an X-title miniseries in years, Ron.
Here’s my elevator pitch; Calvin Rankin, the Mimic, from X-MEN #19 (1966) is being courted by both Professor Xavier and Magneto as fodder for their different approach to the mutant race war the strip was born in. Both are very clearly laying out the politics of being a mutant as it was stated when X-MEN was first published. Boring for him and boring for us.
“Something happens” and Calvin gets unhinged from the Marvel continuity in the midst of this original argument. He passes through numerous incarnations of the books long and confused continuity trying to sort out “WTF this whole thing is about” through time-travel, ret-cons, galactic battles and recurring genocides with no clear idea of who’s the good guy or who’s the bad guy. He spends like a day, invariably a pivotal day, in every odd branch of the X-continuity and still he can’t figure out why any of them bother.
But Calvin is a Mimic and he wants very much to be on the winning side. Yet everywhere he goes the whole purpose for either of the teams just gets blurrier…
