DC Comics universe-wide reboot, Alan Scott (the original Green Lantern) is now an openly gay superhero.It is revealed in the plot of his new in Earth 2, no. 2 which came out Wednesday.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the writer of Earth 2 James Robinson explains the change:
"The original version of Alan Scott was an older man, and he had a superpowered son, Obsidian, who was gay. The fact that Scott was young now [thanks to a universe-wide reboot] meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character. I said, 'Why not make Alan Scott gay?' To Dan DiDio’s credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation."
