While I have absolutely nothing against homosexuals I do have a problem with DC Comics decision in making their gay superhero the original Green Lantern Alan Scott. Alan Scott has been a comic book superhero for over 70 years (That's longer than Wonder Woman folks) and for DC comics to just wipe away 70 years of history and awesome storytelling and turn him gay is, in my opinion, wrong. I am neither small minded nor ignorant. I'm just a BIG Alan Scott fan and I am just disappointed that I have more respect for DC Comics history than DC Comics itself.
i guess i can understand how u feel. if i heard that marvel was making captain america gay i would be devastated too. i understand the history and status of gl as being one of the pioneer heroes of dc comics..but lets face facts. when was the last time he was even remotely significant in the dc universe? as far as i know the only good thing that ever came from him was his daughter..jade. like the others said, its just a ploy to sell comics and try to inject some interest into an otherwise forgotten hero. you say that making him gay has ruined his history..how do you know he wasnt gay [or at least bi-sexual] all the time? it doesnt change was hes done in the past and probally wont effect his future. do you really care about his private life? or what he does behind the mask?
