Mine was a commentary on the disappointment that was the movie, and that D.C couldn't have been too happy with how it turned out either.Cyrus Hanley said:
Okay, surprised nobody's answered your question yet.Eamar said:
Anyhow, most people know of the green lantern corp and some of it's members, but this is one of the lesser known ones.
As with most of DCs new choices and decisions with the New 52, I can see their reasoning behind a lot of it, and for the most part, it seems like sound logic- but I'm not convinced on how well it will play out. I mean, there was all that talk about different more liberated female characters- and then we got that ultra-fan service versions of Starfire & Catwoman...
I'm not saying Alan Scott GL is on a slippery slope to resembling a PG yaoi fanfiction, I'm just saying that this might not be anything other than attention grabbing.

Why is there even an article about this? People have been saying "Green Lantern is Gay" ever since the movie came out!
Ok that was a terrible pun. On topic...it seems they're taking the more mature approach and not making it his entire character, which is sensible. But they did get rid of his gay relative, so really, it cancels out.

Well... yes. If you went around telling black people that they gross you out you'd definitely be a racist, or at the very least an asshole. Anyone who expresses their opinion in an open forum is fair game. Unfortunately you seem to have missed the entire point of my post. My wording was no doubt confusing, so allow me to clarify: if you find homosexual sex distasteful that is enough to make you a horrible bigot in the eyes of the most radical progressives, even if you keep the fact to yourself. These are they types of people that will, if you do not agree with them immediately, go out of their way to question you so they can tell you that you're a bigot. These are the people who cannot recognize any worldview other than their own as legitimate. These are the filth-infested petitioners, the people who boycott random shit. These are the types of liberals who feel the need to go around telling people who were otherwise minding their own business that they're prejudiced and need to change. They are no different in my eyes than the Westboro Baptists.Diana Kingston-Gabai said:
Well, to work within your example, there's a difference between you immediately blurting out that you hate broccoli when someone so much as mentions it, and someone questioning you when they see you avoid broccoli. Are you supposed to lie? In my example, these people would see that you didn't order broccoli or that you avoid broccoli and would take it upon themselves to question you until you admit that you don't like broccoli, and then they would proceed to tell you that you're wrong for not liking broccoli. Does that make sense?Friv said:
I'm not saying that all liberals or democrats do this. The ratio of these progressive loonies to normal liberals is probably similar to the ratio between Westboro Baptist Church members to normal christian conservatives. There are more than a few Christians who personally don't approve of homosexuality, but also don't take this as an excuse to go around harassing gay people. What I'm saying is that both sides have overly intrusive assholes that like to involve themselves in other people's personal affairs.
Let's put it this way: a group of people are standing outside somewhere with a petition. As you walk by they ask you to sign it and you refuse. They then start following you (let's say the mall is pretty empty) and they ask you why you don't want to sign it, and when you continue to refuse they suggest that you're something bad for not wanting to sign it. That's what I call being an intrusive wanker. My point is that this sort of thing has been done by both sides of the political spectrum.
Didn't see that coming. Cool I guess, does scream "We want the free advertising Fox News will inevitably provide for us over this" a bit though.
I know this is a bit of an old post now but most gay people are well aware straight people can be a bit uncomfortable especially around public displays of affection (not saying they particularly care, just that they're aware of it). So long as you aren't trying to say gay couples are inferior and shouldn't be allowed to get married we're fine holding back on public snogging a bitReiverCorrupter said:

That's pretty much how I feel. They really did a poor job of whatever they were trying to do, that's for sure. Or, actually, maybe not; they could have just wanted us all to be talking. Damn them!Lumber Barber said:
So Green Lantern is gay. Big deal. LGBT people are people just like everyone else, just with different lifestyle choices. Take it from me, I'm a member of the LGBT community myself :3
Qouted because this is the same as I feel, Green lantern was straight laced, patriotic, blue blooded conservative and the only reason DC turned him gay was to raise a few eyebrows and get a few "huh, okay"'s out of people.faefrost said:
I liked Obsidian too, Obsidian being gay and having to confront his father about it was a very powerful scene and made me care about the kid and his dad way more than Dc waving big flags and screaming GREEN LANTERN IS GAY (no not THAT one, he's too mainstream)! WOOO WOO WOO! PLEASE READ OUR COMICS!
I'm waiting for someone to reboot this travesty of a New 52 and get everything back to the status quo again, if you want to see the REAL JSA read Geoff John's run from a few years back to see Alan Scott before they replaced him with a shallow gimic.
Darn, I guess no matter how much support I give for gay rights... I'll always be a bigot.Pearwood said:Didn't see that coming. Cool I guess, does scream "We want the free advertising Fox News will inevitably provide for us over this" a bit though.
