DC Comics Relaunches the Original Green Lantern as a Gay Superhero

DC Comics Relaunches the Original Green Lantern as a Gay Superhero

Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, is being reintroduced to the DC Comics universe with one major change: He’s gay.

The big reveal officially comes Wednesday in the second issue of DC’s “Earth 2” series, which features Scott as the main superhero of a parallel world. Scott, who first appeared in a 1940 comic, is getting a new origin story as a young media mogul as part of DC’s universe-wide reboot.

DC confirmed the news about the character Friday after co-publisher Dan Dido told a convention audience in May that a heretofore straight character would be gay.

“He’s going to be the leader of the team, this dynamic hero, he’ll do anything to save people, the bravest man on the planet. Why not just make him gay as well?” writer James Robinson told USA Today.

Explaining the decision in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Robinson said the original version of Alan Scott was an older man with a super-powered son, Obsidian, who was gay.

“The fact that Scott was young now [due to the reboot] meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character. I said, ‘Why not make Alan Scott gay?’ To Dan DiDio’s credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation,” he said.

Robinson told the New York Post the character’s new sexual orientation has no bearing on his heroism.

“He’s very much the character he was. He’s still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism. He’s also gay,” Robinson said.

“It’s a realistic depiction of society,” he added. “You have to move with the times.”

DC’s announcement comes shortly after Marvel Comics said it would be featuring the first gay wedding between two of its characters.

One Million Moms, an online activist group that has targeted JC Penny for its hiring of Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman, took up a campaign after the initial announcement urging supporters to email DC and Marvel about the character developments.

“[U]rge them to change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately. Ask them to do the right thing and reverse their decision to have sexual orientation displayed to readers,” the group wrote.

      Seeing two types of outfits; the skin-tight red-and-green one, and the skin-tight black and green one. I‘m not sure if they’re spandex; they both completely form to the contours of the body.

      I suppose I should say “A guy who runs around with his bulge showing through a skin-tight outfit turned out to be gay? SHOCKING!” Better?

I personally don’t mind characters which are gay if they started that way. I don’t like this where they have taken someone straight and on a whim of political correctness, made them gay.

      THE TRUTH THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO GLOSS OVER:

      => “In 2009, male-on-male sex (MMS) accounted for 79% of infections among all newly infected men.

      => In 2010, in the 46 states with long-term confidential, name-based reporting, MMS accounted for 78% of estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older.

      => Young people aged 13–29 accounted for 39% of all new HIV infections in 2009

      => With regard to youth, HIV disproportionately affects young gay and bisexual men and young African Americans.”
      http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/msm/index.htm
      http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/youth/index.htm

      Note 1: The 2010 stat for MMS HIV contagion (78%) decreases to 51% for the OVERALL population, because bisexuals spread HIV to females (23%) who comprise 51% of the population. There’s no category for heterosexual males to assess contagion from infected females, but who cares about hetero males anyway.

      Note 2: No CDC stats since Feb. 2011, and stats for 2010 are not as comprehensive as those for 2009. I wonder why.

      Never mind the staggering stats. Instead, let’s write cool comics to entice our boys, turn the pervs into superheroes, and cover up the ugly truth — depraved liberal style.

      TURKEY13…just stay away from DC’s EARTH 2 and BATWOMAN (she’s a lesbian character with a penchant for trolling Gotham City PD) and you can be relatively confident that your kids will be free from the overt liberal propaganda.
      One funny thing, DC took a heterosexual cop in Gotham City “Rene Montoya” and shoe-horned her into being a homosexual so that the Batwoman character can have a girlfriend at one point.
      Marvel’s X-Men is having a homosexual wedding this month so keep that one on the “avoid” list as well. They’re using variant covers so be alert.
      If you stick to the basic Detective Comics, Batman, The Dark Knight, Superman, Action Comics, Justice League…your kids can enjoy their comics free from the propagandizing of these liberal goons. Although Grant Morrison is writing Superman right now as some kind of “hero of the proliteriate”. He’s usually a great writer though.
      Batman right now is being written by an amazing writer named Scott Snyder and drawn by artist Greg Capullo…these guys are doing incredble stories and your kids will enjoy them. But the’re very edgy and dark. So if they’re really young use your discretion.
      Be also aware..DC no longer adheres to the Comics Code which means the stories no longer have to be suitable for young audiences.
      You have to remember TURKEY13, you’re dealing with artists and writers, a community notoriously populated by liberals. Some of them don’t shove their agenda in your face..some do.

      First of all you’re all thinking of the WRONG CHARACTER. This Green Lantern was the first character by that name and he is quite different than the one you’re thinking of.
      This is not the GL that was portrayed by Ryan Reynolds,this GL is not a member of an intergalactic police force,this GL was not given his ring by a nearly dead alien.
      The character in question is shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Scott

      Honestly though,DC is patting itself on the back for taking a character that has very,very,rarely been in the public eye for the last 40 years and is NOT a mainstream character and making him gay. They act as though this is a brave decision but it isn’t. Taking a character that is almost completely unknown to those outside of comics fandom (this article & many of the responses to it demonstrate that point) is not being bold;it is taking the easy approach to solving a perceived ‘problem’. Remember that this is the “New 52” version of DC,a brand new interpretation of the DC Universe where the back stories of the characters have been altered/erased just because the writers didn’t want to work very hard to tell interesting stories anymore. When the company decides to switch back to the original version of the DCU they’ll make Alan Scott straight again and none of this will have mattered.
      “Brave” would have been taking one of their mainline characters (Superman,i.e.) during the original timeline and revealing them as gay. They couldn’t easily change t

      That would entirely depend on YOUR definition of “morality” and “normality” now wouldn’t. Standards you developed when you were indoctrinated.

      If you lived your how life believing Gay was normal and moral then you would take no issue with this comic. But, because you were raised believing the contrary (probably because of your bigoted, narrow minded parents), you believe it’s “immoral”, “not normal”, and therefore “indoctrination”

      I was raised my entire life to be a good person and to evaluate the world as fairly as possible. So naturally I see no issue with this comic (because it is not a “doctrine” that is being evaluated uncritically, but rather much the opposite), but I do see religion as indoctrination. Not to say indoctrination is bad or good, but just objectively identifying the areas where it exists.

      Geesh, I don’t know about you being a good person but it is evident you sure think highly of yourself. Good for you. We all like our own brand, don’t we?
      The word “normal” has a set definition, generally meaning that which is expected. Homosexuality is not normal from a strictly mathematical perspective; it is statistically anomalous behavior that can only be redefined as ‘normal’ if ‘normal’ no longer means “the usual or average”. Normal does not mean acceptable or tolerable.
      As for morality, there has been generally a distaste for embracing homosexuality as unquestionably socially acceptable across time, religions, cultures (some very secular), races, & geography. People can recognize that gays exist, but being gay isn‘t ’normal’ in ANY culture.
      I don’t believe homosexuals are evil & need to purged. They are fringe group trying to make their way thru life… like the rest of us, but they want to play house with their own sex. I can tolerate them. I really don’t give too hot, steaming craps about their private business. I also don’t accept they are somehow special and deserve to be venerated. Gays should not be entertained (being a statistical anomaly defined by behavior) as a special, protected class that is allowed to redefine terms to make them feel better. Does all that make me or any other non-homicidal person morally superior or inferior to you? Nope. Like you, were just people with opinions… not special authority.

      @markThatcher

      So you claim to be God fearing; that is utter non-sense. You did and still do choose to be gay, as there is NO scientific proof that there is a “gay gene” (besides of course a “study” by a homosexual scientist) The human genome project found no such gene while mapping human DNA. On to the God fearing remark you made. If you truly fear God you would change your little lifestyle choice and follow His word. Until that day comes you and your sex partner are not Godly men.

      You speak of the real world, but what you are missing is the real world does not accept you; hell just look at voting results. Every-time Americans vote to normalize your little pretend family, you get a resounding NO You are not and will never be normal. Your lifestyle choice is not only against God, it is against your own biology.

      Looked it up, he’s half-black, half-Hispanic. The “gay” part was from a Drudge Report, which Beck then commented on after, complaining that they’re making him black, Hispanic, and gay. But I think you’re right, he’s just multi-racial, not gay.

      Out promoting sodomy at every chance, in order to distract him from his own guilt laden soul.

      What is your take on all the psycho cannibal mass murderers that are gay? You are out there promoting following your urges and try to satisfy whatever lust you have. When endless random sodomy with strangers in public bathrooms looses its thrill. Many gays seam to turn to pedophilia, in some cases necrophilia, or just killing people and eating them. All this to try to fulfill something that cannot be fulfilled.

      The top six U.S. male serial k i l l e r s were all g a y :
      • Donald Harvey claimed 37 victims in Kentucky;
      • John Wayne Gacy r a p e d and k i l l e d 33 boys in Chicago,
      • Patrick Kearney accounted for 32..
      • Bruce Davis m o l e s t e d and k i l l e d 27 young men and boys in Illinois;
      • A g a y s e x-m u r d e r-t o r t u r e ring (Corll-Henley-Brooks) killed 27 men and boys
      • Juan Corona was convicted of m u r d e r i n g 25 migrant workers
      L e s b i a n Aileen Wuornos laid claim in 1992 to “worst female k i l l e r” with at least 7 middle-aged male victims.

      Almost forgot our beloved Jeffrey Dahlmer..

      A study of 518 s e x u a l l y-tinged mass m u r d e r s in the U.S. from 1966 to 1983 determined that 350 (68%) of the victims were k i l l e d by gays and that 19 (44%) of the 43 m u r d e r e r s were b i-sexuals or gays.

    DC isn’t stupid enough (yet) to mess with bankable properties like Batman or Superman.
    Outside of the Batman titles…DC has been relying on gimmicks for a while now. Most readers expect the “New 52” line to be disolved within 12 months. There’s already a plot device entered into that universe to change back to normal continuity at some point. The “New 52” was meant to be a new start for DC’s characters…most sales have fizzled since it’s inception. New titles have been put in to replace them with less than enthusiastic responses to them. What happens to the “Earth 2” line once the “New 52” phase is over is too premature to say since only one “Earth 2” title has been published so far. My guess is sales will taper off as James Robinson has been a “so-so” writer for DC. For some perspective..Robinson is very liberal in his views and tries to put them into his writing. So pushing the homosexual agenda is no surprise knowing Robinson is behind it. DiDio has given publishing space to the “It gets better” campaign of militant homosexual Dan Savage. Savage you‘ll recall is the vile and angry homosexual who disparages christians and anyone that doesn’t adhere to his homosexual fantasies. But this is acceptable to DC publishing apparently.

If you don‘t care or don’t follow or don’t know anything other than the name, then you’re exactly the type of person to get all outraged over a minor league nobody character being gay.

      GIT-R-DONE — it is not being shoved down your throat. If you don’t like it, don’t read the comics. No one is forcing you to.

      Of course, what he means by “shoved down our throats” is “permitted”. He is upset he cannot force such things out of existence through laws and violence.

      How fitting the comic franchise named D.C. would push homosexuality.This move is just another nail in the coffin of another magazine franchise that has been dead for over a decade.
      They should change their name to P.C. comics.

    Well superheroes generally dress like they are gay, so I guess it makes sense. Does this mean that Obsidian will never exist in this universe (since gays can’t have children?)

      Yes, they are writing Obsidian out of existence just to compete with Marvel’s agenda. I’m not sure about Jade or what happens with her. I thought the whole “let’s reboot the whole DC universe” thing was stupid and I have bought less than I did before. Now that they feel they have to push Obama’s gay agenda, I will buy even less of DC and Marvel. Dynamite is an up and coming company with the Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Warlord of Mars, and other legends. Even Hellboy died.

      actually BAIKIE….yes they are automatically unable to have children because without a third party they cannot procreate. Is this lost on you sport? If you‘re trying to infer that they’re not infertile that’s a given. But being strict homosexuals, they cannot procreate with the help of a third party. Making them a dead end for the species.

      Avengerk, many gay people in the US are currently in heterosexual relationships and procreating.

      BAIKIE…perhaps you‘re just too stupid to understand what’s been presented to you.
      A STRICT homosexual cannot procreate without a third party’s assistance. Citing closeted homosexuals to me that remain in heterosexual relationships does not change the fact that two homosexuals as a couple cannot procreate without a third party being involved.

      In fact you’ve reiterated my point. The closeted homosexual needs another party to procreate with because he or she cannot procreate while in a homosexual relationship. So indeed homosexuals are a dead end.
      Thank you for reiterating the same even though you didn’t mean to.

      My dad and all my uncles were WWII Vets, and I loved reading about the lost battalion and the haunted compact tank. But it was the can-do message that really “indoctrinated” our generation.

      Referring back to Joe Kubert’s classic 1960’s Sergeant Rock DC comics, Easy Company has a character that represents every political and social background. United we stand!

      Nowadays, well, not so much! LOL

      That was a model for the power of Empirical military success – by using the best features, talents, and characteristics of the entire heroic, talented and individual Volunteer team.

      This is also the theme of the modern US military. It’s the mission, not the Icon!

      It’s sweet you collect after 35 years – these short-lived “gaymics” will be a great ROI in 10 or so I bet.
