I know, I know .. I'm posting this in the Political forum 'but' why else would DC want to destroy itself .. unless it's the Politically Correct thing to do?
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.
"He's very much the character he was. He's still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism. He's also gay," "Earth 2" writer James Robinson told The Post.
The Emerald Guardian's sexuality was rebooted along with the rest of his fictional universe as part of DC's "New 52" initiative aimed at rejuvenating their characters.
Robinson said he decided to make the change because making the character young again meant erasing Scott's gay superhero son out of existence.
"The only downside of his being young was we lose his son, Obsidian, who's gay. So I thought, 'Why not make Alan Scott gay?'" Robinson recalled. "That was the seed that started it."
He ran his idea by the bosses at DC, "who signed off on it without hesitation."

Well, at least it was some what of a nobody. If they would have had one of the major characters come out as gay, there would be a major uproar and they would lose so many sales that they would have to go out of business.

Purely PC bullcrap. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Why are people trying to appease teh gheys?

Please note, the Gay Lantern doesn't have his own strip...No, he's just one of many characters on the Earth 2 book.
DC wasn't brave enough to debut a gay book on its own. Collectors will rush to buy the Issue, DC will cash in, and the Gay Lantern will fade into the background.
