One of DC Comics oldest heroes is super-coming out.
The original Green Lantern - a DC Comics' mainstay for the past 70 years - will be revealed to be a gay man in next week's issue of "Earth 2."
Alan Scott - formerly a married father of two who first appeared in 1940 - tips readers off to his sexuality early on in the comic when he gives his boyfriend a welcome home kiss.
"He's very much the character he was. He's still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism. He's also gay," "Earth 2" writer James Robinson told The Post.
The Emerald Guardian's sexuality was rebooted along with the rest of his fictional universe as part of DC's "New 52" initiative aimed at rejuvenating their characters.
Robinson said he decided to make the change because making the character young again meant erasing Scott's gay superhero son out of existence.
"The only downside of his being young was we lose his son, Obsidian, who's gay. So I thought, 'Why not make Alan Scott gay?'" Robinson recalled. "That was the seed that started it."
He ran his idea by the bosses at DC, "who signed off on it without hesitation."

What’s next? Batman revealed to be pedophile?
we truly live in a sick age
There's the real issue.
I wonder if they'll deal with the hepatitis or fights with the boyfriend that comes along with new lifestyle.
Kinda’ ironic: Go Green is also Go Gay!
Also announced was that DC Comics will now be known as “AC/DC Comics”.
Should he start wearing lavender now, instead of green?
Or maybe he can become the Rainbow Lantern.
Why not just totally corrupt historic fantasy legacy by making all the DC superheroes gay? I mean for 1 maybe 2% of the population to feel ‘included’ in society now and the other 98% left wondering what effed-up DC writer has up his butt.....
AND, most young men will not be caught dead carrying around a Green Lantern comic book after he comes out.
I keep looking up for the big “reset” asteroid.
“He’s still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism.”
No, he isn’t.
Next Up: Incredible Hulk likes packing fudge.
Having a fecal fetish is not “ideal.”
If this travesty sells parents can be blamed for not giving a damn!
They keep pushing their agenda and you’re right, they will be the laughing stock of the comic book fans.
Perhaps this should not be a surprise. In any case, I won't be buying anything from DC Comics, so I don't have to worry what they do to their "universe?.
Big seller on Castro Street:
Batman In Action. Scenes of Batman buggering Robin.
A lot of comic fans are going to look at this as a slap in the face to Green Lantern creator Mart Nodell, who passed away a few years ago. Mart was looked upon as a ‘grandfatherly figure’ among many fans and retailers...he was still sketching for fans and signing books right up to the end...p*ss on DC...I hope this financially cripples them.
Up next...Batman and Throbbin
Anyone who allows this comic book in their home is guilty of child abuse.
