So, basically DC Comics is fixing to write the death knell for the sales of one of their Superheroes.

Mark my words, it doesn’t matter which hero it is, sales numbers will crater.

saying that the existing superhero who was previously assumed to be straight will be "one of our most prominent gay characters."

Hey, DC! How do you kill off a successful superhero franchise?

It must be Green Lantern. He's too attached to flashy jewelry.

Well, now, ain't that just swell?
Who will it be?
Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Lone Ranger, Tonto?

Major barf. I used to have a BODACIOUS barf graphic. I wonder if it's still around?

DC comics is dead to me, ever since Superman renounced his US citizenship.

THE LOVE THAT WON'T FREAKIN SHUT UP!!!!!

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman....let it be Wonder Woman....

Really I could care less. Comics died in the 70’s if not before.

A homosexual “superhero”. The Fabulous Boa! This should be hilarious. I guess they’ll have to leave off the “SWISH!” when he/she takes off running.

Just one super hero?

Every one of them has that whole spandex tights thing going on, in all kinds of bright colors. Then you’ve got the matching cape, matching mask, and slip-on stain high top shoes.

I’m thinking the whole super hero culture is keeping a secret.

What is it with these people? (Rhetorical Question...)

Comic books were one of my favorite reading pleasures as a young child and man. I read them for the adventure or the eeriness of somewhere far away and different from where I lived and went to school. I didn’t care about a heros or villains sexual orientation nor would it have ever occurred to me to ask.

Now-a-days... These comics are quickly heading for the XXX rated adult store not the local comic book store.

All the comic book superheroes are homosexual.

Totally idiotic move taking 'PC' to the level of insanity.

The boys and young men that buy DC 'superhero' comics may be brainwashed by the public schools and the media that being 'gay' is just dandy but as far as I can tell, it's still considered an insult for one teen-age boy to call another (both presumably heterosexual) 'gay'. That indicates the reality is that boys still know that wanting sex with another guy is wrong and probably repulsive to most of them. Thus, adding a 'gay' character to the DC comic stable will likely turn off the majority of that company's prospective consumers. Maybe Obama will bail DC comics out when they crater. Oh, wait, he won't be president by then.

I would say Green Arrow. I think he had pacifist views in the past.
