In a bold move (or to keep up with Marvel), DC Comics announced that one of its prominent characters' sexual orientation will change.
Here's the scoop:
One question asked at the DC panel today at Kapow, was about Dan’s interview with the Advocate in the USA. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch orientation, but the question asked why DC would switch race, size, age, all sorts of identifying features, but not orientation.Well, that's cute. But who will it be?
Surprisingly, DiDio stated that they had changed DC’s policy in this regard. And they are about to reintroduce a previously existing DC character who was previously straight and now will be “one of our most prominent gay characters.”
As Bob Wayne explained that, just like the President of the United States, the co-publisher’s policy on this “has evolved.”

I think DC needs to define "prominent."
