Green Lantern is gay

[Icarus27k]

As in the DC Comics superhero. Execs at DC have been hinting for a while that an established hero would come out of the closet. And here's the end to the speculation.

Green Lantern relaunched as brave, mighty and gay


By MATT MOORE, Associated Press – 2 hours ago


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Green Lantern, one of DC Comics' oldest and enduring heroes no matter what parallel earth he's on, 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 who was, and is, part of the Justice League and has had a history rich in triumph and tragedy.


Instead, said James Robinson, who writes the new series, 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.

Ryan Rynolds the Canadian film actor who played Green Lantern in the last movie will be happy to know his love interest was all a hokes. lol

Such a crying shame we have become such a PC society we have to turn comic characters gay. Christ!!

Yeah, comic books reflecting some things real life is an oddity alright.

o.k. L Gilbert, I know your views on Gays.. we have been there.

Now SpiderMan, there's a super hero you could set your watch to as a kid. Ain't nothing gay about spiders, in fact they're the exact opposite, they creep the Nancy boys and little girls right out, ideal super hero for an old-fashioned boy.

Just keep the fudge packing behind closed doors.. o.k. Don't need to hear about it, or want to know about it.. thx.

So you think you should be able to post your bigoted views and I shouldn't be able to post my views? get a grip, you ****up. lol

boy.

BTW, speaking of old-fashioned, did you know that homosexuals have been around for at least as long as recorded history?

So what, Green Lantern going to Bitch Slap the bad guy? :lol:

That's what the character does. How is that different from your arachnid character bitch-slapping "bad guys"?

Did you realize it was more open and accepted during the Roman Empire.. most men were bi-sexual.. Big fu.cking deal.

Let's face it, the prudes came to the New World (America) and brought their stigmas with them..

Relax.. I'm not a bigot.. it's just funny. You get so wound up over this issue.. I mean seriously. That's just so Gay. ooops. ;-)
