only the 40's Green Lantern Alan Scott is gay. Ryan Reynolds plays Hal Jordan the most recent Green Lantern so i guess his character is still safe. but dili gihapon maau na gihimog bayot si Green Lantern. sigh there goes my childhood

Marvel weds it's two gay superheroes.
DC makes one of their straight superheroes since the 1940's, gay in 2012.

Alan Scott's son was also gay, though I don't know if he even exists(and his daughter Jade) in this new universe.

kinda wished it was Wonder Woman though. if not gay, then maybe a bi. she and Batwoman can couple up. rrrr hehe.

but anyway, don't really care. I've stopped reading DC so eh.

i really dont get it as if gays read comic books

women read comic books. don't see why gays won't.
I even have some gay friends who read comic books.

gays?
and I think you're thinking too much into it. they just want to attract the geeky lgbt community.

it's the same as making the new Ultimate Spiderman Black and Mexican. two minorities with one character.

Not really a big deal.

First of all, the character they relaunched as gay is NOT the same character Ryan Reynolds played in the movie (that was Hal Jordan). This is Alan Scott they're talking about. In the old DC continuity, he's the original Green Lantern and a member of the Justice Society of America, got his power source from the "Star Heart" and was not a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Before the DC reboot, he had a son (Obsidian) who was also gay.

Besides, it's just one character that they turned gay. He's in Earth-2 (An alternate version of Earth. Their versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman already died in a war against Apokolips). And he's a character you don't even know and care about. Jeez, what's with all the vitriol? Just because one dude turns out to be gay doesn't mean that Supes and Bats will also turn gay. That's like saying you're gonna turn gay as well just because one of your friends came out of the closet.

There are already lots of gay characters out there. There's no need to raise your torches and pitchforks. For people who don't read comics, you sure are a prickly bunch.
