Sigh....who gives a shit?
EDIT: That post ^^^ should be read as: I don't give a shit if someone is gay or not. I hate that the media has to make a f'n spectacle/circus out of everything. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 06-02-2012 at 01:55 PM.. |

i saw this report a week or two ago; that a major, male character in the DCU would be outed.
i'm more surprised that alan scott GL is a major character than i am that he's gay. Last edited by GI FLINT; 06-02-2012 at 02:54 PM.. |

Northstar coming out was a media event because that was the first acknowledged gay hero in comics.
Now? It shouldn't matter or be a big deal. This was planned at DC, but they weren't going to make a big deal out of it (the course they should have taken) until they felt they had to one-up Marvel who got headlines with the Northstar marriage.

They're treating this rebooted version of Alan Scott as a new character. Kinda like how they did with Batwoman, who is also not a "new" character; either as Batwoman or Katherine Kane.
I'm looking forward to the time when being gay or straight is simply a character element and not a function of the storytelling at all; "shocking" or otherwise.

I think he was more known for his position in Checkmate than as GL lately. The original script for the GL movie gave him a cameo at the end.

I'm still trying to figure out why it matters. Do gay super heroes get different powers or something? Like honesty how is the character affected by liking dudes? But weren't Hulkling and Wiccan from the Young Avengers gay like 10 years ago? Really who gives a crap anymore?

My, how "progressive" of them... I no more want to see homosexual slurpings in a comic than I do heterosexual... Soap opera hand-wringing of any kind turns me off a title.
