Comic book superhero Green Lantern is gay

[Scott Bernard]

He might be Green Lantern, but one of America's most enduring comic book characters is turning rainbow colored as the latest superhero to come out as gay, DC Comics announced Friday.



Starting next week Alan Scott reappears as Green Lantern, "a team leader with a Type-A personality and an appetite for justice," the publisher said in a statement. "Alan also happens to be homosexual."
"Originally a Golden Age character whose previous continuity spanned from the 1940s through modern times, Alan... is getting an update for contemporary times to reflect the world we live in."
The new Green Lantern appears in the second issue of "Earth 2." A sneak preview of part of the storyline on the DC Comics website shows Alan as a strapping, blond man arriving in Hong Kong, where a handsome, dark-haired friend called Sam whisks him off to a luxury hotel.
Series writer James Robinson said that despite the modern revamp, "old-time readers will be pleasantly surprised by how, in some ways, I'm trying to show the 'classic' Alan Scott at the same time. He's still the same dynamic, heroic guy he was."
The imaginary comic world has tried hard recently to introduce ethnic and sexual diversity. DC Comics has a lesbian Batwoman, while Marvel's "Astonishing X-Men" is set to feature a superhero gay marriage.

Jesus Rollerblading Christ! I can't believe why ...." The imaginary comic world has tried hard recently to introduce ethnic and sexual diversity "

Absurd! Who cares if the fags don't get a superhero based on their sexuality? This is shitter than a pig playing a trombone.
I'm glad I was born in the 80's and be dead by 2050's or earlier. Can't handle any more horrid changes in this planet.

Sa una, basta ang mga batang lalaki mag "Wonderwoman"2x gani, maka ingon ta nga basin ma bayot na pohon.

Karon, mas delikado kung X-Men or Justice League ang ge idol2x, kay wala nata kahibaw sa utok sa mga bata.

OnT:

At least, naapa man dili bading nga Green Lantern. Si Guy Gardner.



Daghan man diay ni silang Green Lantern. Ang bayot kay kani ramang usa, si Alan Scott.
