Green Lantern is GAY

No not the movie... although that wasn't the greatest...

DC is relaunching the Golden Age character of Allan Scott as a gay superhero

Why do they have to mess with character's back stories?

Create a new character or just use existing ones

I'd be curious to know if this helps sales/popularity or makes it worse or no change.

I wonder if they will make Sinestro a former lover who spurned GL

Golden age Green Lantern so there is no Sinestro ... his lantern is magic... it's weakness is wood (unless they changed it)

Green Lantern (Silver Age) is a cosmic cop.. his ring is powered by will to manipulate green energey from the power battery on OA

I agree, they should have created a new character. Then again Green Lsntern wasn't a fav of mine, so that's ok too.

I had heard they were doing this, but not who they were doing it to, only that it was supposed to be a BIG DC hero.....

Is this GL considered a BIG hero? I was never a fan of Green Lantern, so honestly, I could care less, but I can see where this might tick some fans off. What's the point? Where is the need? Because Marvel has a gay wedding in one of their current issues?

I haven't collected comic books in many years, but this doesn't make me want to buy it to read the story......

I wouldn't consider this GL a major character... if they did it to the Silver Age hero, then it would be different

Yeah Wonder Woman Lesbian Edition would have had huge sales. lol

She's an Amazon. It should have been a no brainer.

They relegated this gay green lantern to an alternate universe. That's still almost like staying in the closet.

They obviouslky didn't want to risk any kind of backlash if they used their iconic superheroes: superman or batman.

All the superheroes are gay in an alternate universe somewhere. They are just publishing a single instance for now.
