D.C. has outed original Green Lantern Alan Scott (earth-2) thus erasing his superhero son Obsidian, also openly gay, from existence.
TRIVIA QUESTION. everybody knows silver age G.L. Hal Jordan's ring was powerless against yellow, what was the original G.L's weakness ? |

Being gay doesn't mean you can't father a child.

I swear you know what....I just don't care.
I mean does anyone REALLY care about the sexuality of a fictional character? So much so that its a media event? I mean ok maybe it was a media event when they outed Northstar, or when Ellen came out....but seriously this is really an event still? |

I would think being outed as a super hero would be a bigger deal.

It really is a non issue. I am more concerned with no Jade or Obsidian.

lame.......make Hal gay.....making a hero less and less people care about gay to make him "relevant" is cheap.
Re-writing straight heroes as gay is also cheap in my mind. Make a new hero...make people care about him/her and then reveal that they are gay/lesbian down the road after people like them. That's storytelling. That is if you want it to be 'shocking". Making batwoman lesbian was well done as she is a new character, and it makes sense to not change her sexuality half way through the story...Obsidian being gay--it fit in the story of the character. Some of this stuff just feels so forced to bring media attention. IMO

IMO 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. |
