Yep, it's Official... Green Lantern is Gay

Here is a look at Alan Scott and his man from the Earth 2 comic book. It comes out (no pun intended) June the 6th

Looks like Alan Scott, the Original Green Lantern is DC Comics' latest Gay Character

A trusted comic site, Bleeding Cool, believes they know who the prominent gay DC Comics character is. They say it's Alan Scott, the Earth 2 version of the Green Lantern.

Here is the scoop from BC writer, Rich Johnston

I ran semi-sourced stories indicating that the character who DC Comics announced as being reintroduced to the New 52 DC Universe as a gay man, was Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, who appeared in Earth 2 #1 briefly.

Well, at Phoenix Comic Con, I had a much stronger source confirm to me that, yes, it is indeed Alan Scott. On that basis I feel confident in calling it. Keep your Earth 2 #1 in good nick, and start queuing up for Earth 2 #2… right about now.

If this is the case, then the hype was just hype. Alan Scott? I hope they have a good story if this is true.

My List of DC Comic Characters that could Come Out

Everyone is wondering who will be the "prominent" DC Comics character to come out. It could be anyone, even Krypto for all we know.

So, I'm going to take a stab at this game by listing possible characters.

Please check out the list after the jump

DC Comics will make a Prominent Character come Out

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.

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.”

Well, that's cute. But who will it be?
