Alan Scott has been straight and married since his introduction in what, the 30's and 40's. And now they make him Gay! If DC wants a gay character introduce someone new and dont fool with someone with that much History.
All they are trying to do any way is keep up with Marvel and their gay characters getting married.

DC Comics has been promising to reveal that one of its more popular superheroes is gay, and they finally made the announcement: It's the Green Lantern. Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, is being reintroduced as a homosexual character in the second issue of the "Earth 2" series, part of a recent project designed to revive classic characters called "New 52."
Writer James Robinson explained, "[Scott's] still the same dynamic, heroic guy he was. He's still the head of a media empire like he was in his prior version, but of course with the form of media changing and evolving with the times. And in many ways, his origin mirrors the original one also. Alan’s sexuality is just one facet of him, along with his innate goodness, valor, charisma and skill at leadership that makes him the perfect man to wield the power of the green light in the world of Earth 2." So what do you think? Is the Green Lantern being gay a cute idea, or too controversial?

I thought the death of Lian was a good story point. Death, is really a good story point. Adds drama, happens, all that.
And I absolutely agree with you on that bio-tech suit...ugh. Now that is tragic.
O_o When the heck was Rogue or Angel gay or bi?
I see nothing wrong with a gay hero
Mass immigration,"assimilation",homo and other deviant propaganda pushed and wholesomeness debased ONLY in white countries.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
Superheroes should represent all various types of people, and showcase their virtues and vices in a way that speaks to the reader -- a gay superhero should be no different.
In X-Men, for example, I know there a multiple universes, some where some characters are married, aren't together anymore, or are dead. I don't see this as "changing" the character, but as writing the same character in a different story.
First of all, do your homework SH Hal Jordan was the original Green Lantern.
This is so not cute at all, what's cute about a gay superhero? What's cute about a gay couple? Hell what's cute about a straight couple?
Now why are they going to reboot his character like this? I find it so stupid and sad that they're going to throw away all of the life stories that Scott has gone through for the sake of appealing to gay audiences. If anything they're going to ruin the fandom because it's like the fans won't know who this guy is anymore.
The idea is pretty lame.
not a big deal.
