Yup...And his weakens is "wood" you do the math!!!
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/green-lantern-latest-superhero-outed-gay-earth-2-issue-marvel-northstar-storyline-article-1.1087842
Look, up in the sky. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s . . . another superhero being outed.
No, it’s not Superman. But DC Comics said Friday that Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern — a superhero first introduced in 1940 — will be reintroduced as gay in “Earth 2” issue two, hitting stores next Wednesday.
The storyline was born out of the publisher’s reboot of their whole fictional universe last year, which reintroduces the heroes as younger versions of themselves again.
The reboot effectively wrote out of existence Scott’s openly gay adult son, the superhero Obsidian.
“I was sort of putting the team together and I realized one of the only downsides to relaunching the Justice Society as young, vibrant heroes again was that Alan Scott’s son was no longer going to exist in the reboot,” says “Earth 2” series writer James Robinson, who wrote a 1998 storyline about Obsidian that featured the first gay superhero kiss in comics.
“I thought that was a shame and then it occurred to me, why not just make Alan Scott gay.”
The revelation comes at a boon time in the industry for rainbow pride. In the pages of Marvel’s “Astonishing X-Men” last week, superhero Northstar proposed to his longtime boyfriend — setting up next issue’s superpowered same-sex wedding. DC Comics also has a lesbian superhero, Batwoman, patrolling the streets of Gotham City in her own comic.
“When I was growing up, I’d read comics or watch TV and I wished there were characters who I could relate to, who I knew had gone through what I was going through,” says GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro.
“Today’s LGBT young people can see gay characters in comics, movies and many TV shows who show them that they too can grow up to be parents, leaders, or even superheroes.”
But not everyone is thrilled.
The group One Million Moms Thursday called for a boycott of comic books featuring gay superheroes.
“Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible,” the conservative group said in a statement. “Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’ ”

A bunch of muscle men in tights running around what did you think.

I actually had a guess it would be something like that... Not even shocked a little bit.
I hate DC... Take all of the characters we love and fuck them up... Goddam them to hell.

They had everything fixed with the original Crisis and they had to go and warp it all again.
Look... it's simple.
Give us great stories with the characters we love and let us grow along with them.
These "quick fix" reboots and shit always fucking suck ass.

gayer than knowing more about comics, than the strip in the daily newspaper.

What does Ryan Reynolds think of this?

Oh, this will be fixed, GL was confused because Sinestro (put you story here).
Or it was a clone, or this timeline intersected with another, bla bla.

He will be Deadpool. Being paid to be a psychopathic mercenary bests playing a dude with a green ring and a mask...

True, but what if they want to make another Green Lantern movie? I'm sure he might do a double take when he finds out the Green Lantern is gay.

suck to be a kid in this day and age with male superheroes kissing in comics and getting married to each other, talk about destroying your childhood heroes.

Comics have always had homoerotic themes....the first clue was obviously Superman wearing his fucking drawers on the outside of his pants to Batman's and Robin....btw, there's over 1000 Green Lanterns in the DC Universe, having one gay guy isn't going to make a difference.....you still got John Smith

Contrary to popular belief, Bay... Everyone does not see "homo" in everything they see or do.

Comics have always been very gay. Those examples Vince posted are just a small sample.

There's a reason lots of people don't go to bodybuilding shows.

Even more disturbing is the fact that the "Green Lantern is Gay" is HEADLINE news!

I think you mean John Stewart.
Yea....whatever. I really don't keep up with comics...just knew that there was a black one that was banging the shit out of some girl named HawkGirl on the Justice League cartoon.
Personally, I don't read any comic books at all.....waste of time and they always change shit up for whatever reason

I thought the guy was a f@g before I even knew what homosexuality is. "Green Lantern".
Well they can rename him to "Pink Lantern" now.
http://news.yahoo.com/green-lantern-relaunched-brave-mighty-gay-070052544.html
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Green Lantern, one of DC Comics' oldest and most enduring heroes, is serving as a beacon for the publisher again, this time as a proud, mighty and openly gay hero.
The change is revealed in the pages of the second issue of "Earth 2" out next week, and comes on the heels of what has been an expansive year for gay and lesbian characters in the pages of comic books from Archie to Marvel and others.
But purists and fans note: This Green Lantern is not the emerald galactic space cop Hal Jordan who was, and is, part of the Justice League and has had a history rich in triumph and tragedy.
Instead, he's a parallel earth Green Lantern. James Robinson, who writes the new series, said Alan Scott is the retooled version of the classic Lantern whose first appearance came in the pages of "All-American Comics" No. 16 in July 1940.
And his being gay is not part of some wider story line meant to be exploited or undone down the road, either.
"This was my idea," Robinson explained this week, noting that before DC relaunched all its titles last summer, Alan Scott had a son who was gay.
But given "Earth 2" features retooled and rebooted characters, Scott is not old enough to have a grown son.
"By making him younger, that son was not going to exist anymore," Robinson said.
"He doesn't come out. He's gay when we see him in issue two," which is due out Wednesday. "He's fearless and he's honest to the point where he realized he was gay and he said 'I'm gay.'"
It's another example of gay and lesbian characters taking more prominent roles in the medium.
In May, Marvel Entertainment said super speedster Northstar will marry his longtime boyfriend in the pages of "Astonishing X-Men." DC comics has other gay characters, too, including Kate Kane, the current Batwoman, The Question, and married characters Apollo and the Midnighter.
And in the pages of Archie Comics, Kevin Keller is one of the gang at Riverdale High School and gay, too.
DC has been a leader in incorporating gay characters into its comics — they had one of the first male gay kisses back in 1988.
Since then, numerous comic book heroes and villains have been written as gay, lesbian or transgender — from Batwoman to Hulkling and Wiccan in the pages of "Young Avengers."
Green Lantern would be the highest-profile openly gay hero — even the parallel earth version.
"It was just meant to be — Alan Scott being a gay member of the team, the Justice Society, that I'll be forming in the pages of 'Earth 2,'" Robinson said. "He's just meant to be part of this big tapestry of characters."
Some groups have protested the inclusion of gay characters, but Robinson isn't discouraged, noting that being gay is just one aspect to Scott.
"This guy, he's a media mogul, a hero, a dynamic type-A personality and he's gay," Robinson said. "He's a complex character."

Who was Huey, Dewey and Louie's father?
Donald, of course...they just called him "uncle", it was the 1950's way of explaining why Daisy (And Minnie) had kids with no fathers.

wasn't there a rumor about Superman being a F.agg too?
-
Green Lantern is now officially a getbigger

There was a Family Guy episode where Ryan Reynolds was trying to fuck Peter Griffin for the whole show. This golden age Lantern is Alan Scott though, not the Lantern anyone gives a shit about (Hal or Kyle). The black Spider-Man was likewise a variant that nobody gives a shit about, Ultimate Spider-Man.

Incorrect.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are the sons of Donald's sister Della Duck.
In the original theatrical shorts, they were originally sent to visit Donald for only one day; in the comics, the three were sent to stay with Donald on a temporary basis, until their father came back from the hospital (the boys ended up sending him there after a practical joke of putting firecrackers under his chair).
According to the Duck Family Tree, their full names are Huebert, Deuteronomy and Louis.

Pure idiocy, they will lose way more money because heteros that are offended stop buying the comic.
Honestly, I have nothing against gays, but I would NEVER buy a comic book for my kids with a gay superhero. I wouldn't even enjoy reading that for myself, Spidey swinging home to get fuvked in the ass by Mario-Joe Watson is a bit too much homosexuality for my free time.

And what about Minnie's three "boys"? Coincidence? You never here about or see Della anymore.
And in one movie, Donald was trying to woo Daisy, who had three boys...(the one where Donald was hit on the head and his voice changed)...
So, if they were Donald's sister's kids, why would Daisy have them? And as we know, Daisy and Minnie were created to be "companions" for Donald and Mickey, respectively...
Unless "Uncle Donald" and Daisy are sisters...
Many times, when families don't want to disclose to the kids that they had a out of wedlock child (in societies and times when that was taboo) the mother or father was called "aunt" or "uncle"
I believe that Disney tried to clean this shit up---because the cartoons don't necessarily follow what you said...
Or they could be "Uncle" Scrooge's kids, but he didn't want to pay for child support

Bay. I don't care if someone is gay or straight. When I started out with the premise of bodybuilding I wanted to look like a super hero.
That's all there is to it.
Now I know more. I don watch any of it.

You are being silly and, yes, you do have something against gays--as your rhetoric clearly indicates. I thought you were more evolved than that. Obviously, I was mistaken. So be it.
Special "collector's edition" issues aside, people buy comics because they are interested in the characters and/or the story lines. If the story line is compelling kids will buy it; if not, they won't. Making a stand alone title character gay or lesbian is risky in the current climate--a climate exemplified by your attitude. It makes more sense for such characters to be part of an ensemble or group. That way stories and relationships can be explored without narrow minded people focusing on anal sex acts--as if that would ever be featured in a kid friendly comic. Even intimate moments of heterosexual love are largely eschewed by comic book writers because these are not romance novels--they are comic books. The fact is we live in diverse world and that diversity is appropriately being manifest in comic books. It wasn't that long ago when someone very much like you would have objected to a "colored" appearing in a comic book as a lead character. Or an interracial union would have been cause to object or boycott a publisher. For the most part those attitudes died with the people who held them. And your anxieties will die with you too; today's young people do not share them. One some level I think you know that, and this may be what really lies behind your objection: you see the future and you know that you and your values have no place in it. You belong in the past... and there you will remain. :-[
For what it's worth most comics are not bought by parents for their kids. Kids are exposed to them by older siblings, friends, etc. and they buy them on their own: at the local drug store, comic store, online. etc. I read and purchased a lot of comic books when I was growing up. Not one of them was bought for me by my parents.

What's there to get? Spiderman was always white. If he was hispanic, then I would want him to stay hispanic. All these alternate storylines are due to the comic book industry dying out. They need to try to get a wider audience.

They're not dying out, there are more independent comicbook companies than ever. There are tons more titles from the big companies (Marvel, DC), and there are a huge selection of comics that are going from the "darker" themes to Noir, to breaking the 4th wall, to comedy. There are literally tons of selctions that were not available 10-20 yrs ago. The comicbook industry is flourishing due to all these movies and TV shows being based on comics or graphic novels.
What is the problem is the alternate timeline thing and the killing off of characters to give revamps---like Batman, Superman, or the Secret Wars--Spiderman, or the Onslaught deal with Marvel.

Plain and simple... They expect this to temporarily (at least) boost sales... That's all.

I had no idea. Awesome site. What would happen if the mainstream.ever got ahold of this?

Thor - Norse/Teutonic paganism
Win!

The gay community would go apeshit if someone turned one of their precious gay characters straight.

The ambiguously gay duo.
-
I had no idea. Awesome site. What would happen if the mainstream.ever got ahold of this?
I would guess nothing.
Some of our characters have been around for 80 years... Alan Scott is one of them. This reboot simply let them do something "shocking" for a sales boost.
One day this run will be scrapped and everything will go back to normal.
Nothing is written in stone in comic books... If death isn't permanent, then neither is sexuality.
-
I had no idea. Awesome site. What would happen if the mainstream.ever got ahold of this?
Probably bitch about how comic books expose kids to weird stuff and make them veer from our "Judeo-Christian heritage". There would be groups of concerned citizens screaming "Think of the children" in an attempt to get Zatanna effigies burned, and Hawkman and Aquaman comics banned.
In all seriousness. It's just comic books for crying out loud. Enjoy them if you can and want to. But enough with the mainstream media conspiracies and the paranoia in every aspect of life!

it's like making a new version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" where Uncle Tom is white, just because whites are discriminated against when he is black. ::)

Well, it's a sign of the times. Because of Glee and maybe one or two other things, the popular culture world is becoming alot more acceptable of gays, blacks, geeks, etc. It's a good thing as long as it's not exploited.

Comics have always had homoerotic themes....the first clue was obviously Superman wearing his fucking drawers on the outside of his pants to Batman's and Robin....btw, there's over 1000 Green Lanterns in the DC Universe, having one gay guy isn't going to make a difference.....you still got John Smith

Kids need to fucking grow up and so do people. Gay people are no different from straight people and we practically act the same. Heck, when I took someone home from the clubs to bang, I always told them afterwards that I had to get up early in the morning to work and gave them some cab fare in order to get them to leave.....worked 90% of the time. If they were someone I wanted to meet up with again for whatever reason, I always kept some Belgium Waffle Mix around.

Gay people need to stop being so insecure and stop forcing their lifestyle on everyone else. Tolerance isn't even enough for gays anymore. You have to infringe upon every conceivable cultural norm out there, and it's getting sickening.

Why couldn't they make Juggernaut gay? He's huge and strong. I want to see his cock adorned with that helmet as well so Xavier can't get at it.

Alan Turing (100th birthday today (June 23)- has Google home page animation) father of computer science and artificial intelligence...was gay.

That's a real life dude.
Surely some super heroes somewhere are gay. I imagine, though, Green Lantern sales will drop considerably. I could be wrong, I'd like to see the numbers.
Just making the point that there are gay people in all walks of life.

and they re promoting their homosexuality in every way they can subrepticely, fighting for their "cause". They think they re superior to other "heterosexual" humans, but are a poor minority waiting for their finest hour to rise... the storyline of basically most comics...the scenarii/plot of most of the xmen movies... They re getting there, slowly but surely, in a society of sons raised by single moms...

You saw homosexuality in X-men movies? Really?
We must have been watching 2 different things.
I grew up reading comics... Still do... And unless the character is in fact "gay" I never see homosexuality in them.
I hate to quote Chick but in this instance, it's only gay if you want it to be.
Seems like people are so into seeing gay that they look for it everywhere.
