Thread: Fan: 'Embracing' Openly Gay Comic Hero

Someone misspelled embracing in the vid's title.



Green Lantern, one of DC Comics' oldest and most enduring heroes, is serving as a beacon for the publisher again, this time as a proud, mighty and openly gay hero. (June 1)

Plus they never made it clear which Lantern is gay. There are a bajillion Lanterns across the universe. It's not Hal Jordan, is it? It's the original Lantern?

(Googles)

Alan Scott is the gay Green Lantern in the title "Earth 2" that goes on sale this coming Wednesday, competing for attention with the Marvel comics character Northstar who is due to marry his boyfriend in an "Astonishing X-Men" issue due on comic book shelves on June 20.
