One of DC Comics oldest heroes is super-coming out.

The original Green Lantern - a DC Comics mainstay for the past 70 years - will be revealed to be a gay man in next week's issue of "Earth 2."

Alan Scott - formerly a married father of two who first appeared in 1940 - tips readers off to his sexuality early on in the comic when he gives his boyfriend a welcome home kiss.

"Robinson, a British writer who lives in San Francisco with his wife, is no stranger to gay characters - he wrote DC's "Starman" comic in the 1990s, a groundbreaking title that starred a homosexual superhero. He said the only agenda he's pushing is reality."

San Francisco. Figures, Doesn't it?

“In Gayest Day, In Queerest Night. . . .”

I’m waiting for them to change the Green Lantern Oath next. . . (/barf. . .)

His secret hideout will be a public restroom.

. . .where he’ll hang out with a re-booted Flash, who now wears a trench-coat instead of the old red spandex. . . .

Come on, with those puffy sleeves, didn't we all suspect it from the beginning?

The Green Lantern? I don’t believe I know that one. When I was a kid I used to listen to the Green Hornet on the radio.

I was afraid for a minute that the Green Hornet was going to have a secret love affair with Kato, and spoil my childhood memories. Phew.

“Starman”? A sexual deviant too? Robinson seems to have a thing for homosexuals. That’s NOT “reality”. That’s called having the hots for other men. Robinson might want to do a reality check on himself.

“...a groundbreaking title that starred a homosexual superhero...”

Whenever the radicals on the Left want to mainstream another of their insane, destructive and idiotic ideas they congratulate each other with adjectives such as “groundbreaking”, “edgy”, or “brave”.

Us middle-aged farts have seen this tired, puerile act, MANY times before.

The Green Hornet is late to the ball. Can I say ball with regards to gay super heroes? Ace and Gary have been flying the rainbow flag outside their remodeled 1930s bungalow for 16 years now!

Maybe Superman should become transgendered and Batman and Robin get married just to be politically correct.

I haven’t seen it yet in the thread so I have to do it... just can’t stop myself.

New Headline should read

“Major Comic Book Chain announces name change to AC Comics” and relocates their offices to San Francisco!
