Hey guys, here's some cool news: The Green Lantern is going to come out of the closet in the rebooted comic Earth 2 written by James Robinson. That's not the only change that's coming Green Lantern's way- his name is actually changed to Alan Scott. Oh you crazy reboots! We love ya!
Also, now we can make jokes about how the Green Lantern loves his accessories.
Honestly, this news and generally the recent coming out issues that is happening in comics is phenomenal. It's a good step in the right direction- that being education for young kids. Honestly if you grow up thinking you're supposed to disagree or hate someone, you never give the hate a second thought. If we start introducing positive, cool gay characters into the public, there will be just a few more kids willing to accept their fellow human beings.
Suck it, homophobes!
Says Robinson on the Earth 2 reboot:
"This guy, he's a media mogul, a hero, a dynamic type-A personality and he's gay. He's a complex character."
Sounds good to me, congrats to DC comics yet again for being awesome!
