DC Comics' Green Lantern is now gay
One of DC Comics oldest heroes is super-coming out.
The original Green Lantern - a DC Comics mainstay for the past 70 years - will be revealed to be a gay man in next week's issue of "Earth 2." Alan Scott - formerly a married father of two who first appeared in 1940 - tips readers off to his sexuality early on in the comic when he gives his boyfriend a welcome home kiss. "He's very much the character he was. He's still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism. He's also gay," "Earth 2" writer James Robinson told The Post. The Emerald Guardian's sexuality was rebooted along with the rest of his fictional universe as part of DC's "New 52" initiative aimed at rejuvenating their characters. Robinson said he decided to make the change because making the character young again meant erasing Scott's gay superhero son out of existence. "The only downside of his being young was we lose his son, Obsidian, who's gay. So I thought, 'Why not make Alan Scott gay?'" Robinson recalled. "That was the seed that started it." He ran his idea by the bosses at DC, "who signed off on it without hesitation." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...#ixzz1wYe1SnNE |

That doesn't even make sense. But then again I've never read a comic book so maybe it does?

Misleading thread title. He was born gay. You don't suddenly become gay in your seventies.

Would a gay man be caught wearing that ring in public?

I wonder if he would have been turned gay if the movie hadn't have bombed.
