Green Lantern Just Came Out As Gay in DC Canon
Warning! Spoilers to DC Infinite Frontier #0 below!
With the launch of DC'sInfinite Frontier, Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern and co-founder of the Justice Society of America, has confirmed that he is a gay man. Admitting this truth to his two children in the halls of the JSA headquarters, Alan's historic statement also reveals that his secret wasn't just established, but protected by some of his closest teammates and friends. This new side of Scott's character was first explored with his Earth-2 incarnation, leading many readers of DC's Brand-new 52 books at the time to wonder if the original Alan Scott was harboring the alike secret. Now, this honest and heartfelt admission not only sets the next stage of DC Comics stories, but makes Golden Age heroes part of a companywide movement to make all previous characters and stories relevant.
Create by Martin Nodell, Alan Scott was an engineer who discovered a mystical verdant lantern following the events of a horrific railroad bridge collapse. Given a ring that granted him flight and the ability to create glowing grassy constructs of whatever he thought of, Alan became the Green La

A month ago, Bleeding Cool mentioned what was coming with Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern of the DC Comics universe. Which is basically, what's been happening with him for the past few years. Bleeding Cool was the first place to report way back when in May 2012, that Alan Scott would now be portrayed as a gay man. At the time, the ethics was established in a parallel Earth 2 comic book series. This would remain the status of Alan Scott when he was returned to 1940s continuity in Green Lantern 80th Anniversary Special by James Tynion IV and Gary Frank, as a closeted gay man at a far more oppressive time.
With the news that Alan Scott was returning to the main DC Space line, with the Justice Society Of America's come back in the Justice League, some asked what that might mean for the character's returning children, and JSA members, Ja
Old Timey Green Lantern Alan Scott Now One Of The Gays
Today DC revealed what comic fans had been guessing for a few weeks: Alan Scott, the original Lush Lantern, has been retconned to be gay. This isn't the WWII Alan Scott from the Golden Age of comics, by the way, but a more modern day Alan Scott who lives on a different Earth than the rest of the famous DC characters (including more famous Green Lantern Hal Jordan).
Some folks are complaining that this is a lame shift, and on some levels it is. Making an alternate Green Lantern homosexual isn't the boldest thing DC could have done. But it's still surpass than the general dearth of gay characters in comics. When comic characters come out they look after to be absolute nobodies, like Northstar (who is getting married next month. It's like we're in a gay comics arms race). At least "Green Lantern is gay!" means something to most people.
The lack of male lover characters in comics is shameful, but the only way to address it is in drastic reboots like Alan Scott's. The gay paucity is, in my opinion, related to the paucity of powerful new characters in the major superhero universes. Creators would rather put unused characters into creator-owned prope

The recent Alan Scott: Green Lantern has been looking at the life of a superhero, when he's a gay man in America in the 1940s.
The brand-new Alan Scott: Green Lantern series as part of the Golden Age line from DC Comics that was meant to be showrun by Geoff Johns, though he's going Ghost Machine-exclusive, has been looking at the life of a superhero, when he's a gay man in the nineteen forties. It was a change that began to be introduced with the New 52 and Earth-2 over ten years ago, but is now being properly explored. What sets it apart from other superhero series with queer leads is that it is put in the nineteen forties. A time when his very nature is considered not just immoral but downright criminal. And opposed to the church's then-view of the word of God. And Alan Scott knows it. But in Alan Scott: Green Lantern #3 out on Tuesday, he is not alone in that. Spoilers ahead, of course.
But it just so happens that we have the Spectre on hand. Who is, in the DC Universe, the closest you
