Alan Scott Confirmed To Be DC's Next Gay Character

Rumors going around that the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, being reintroduced as a gay character has turned out to be true.

DC has officially announced that Alan Scott will be reintroduced in the DC Universe as a gay character. James Robinson will be rewriting Alan Scott in Earth 2 #2, which is to be out next Wednesday, due to the New 52 writing out Scott's son, Obsidian, out of existence.

“I was sort of putting the team together and I realized one of the only downsides to relaunching the Justice Society as young, vibrant heroes again was that Alan Scott’s son was no longer going to exist in the reboot,” says Robinson. “I thought that was a shame and then it occurred to me, why not just make Alan Scott gay.”

Alan Scott To Be DC's New Gay Character?

Last week DC announced that a current heterosexual hero would be written as a homosexual. Well it is now being reported that the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, will be the gay character.

It is not exactly confirmed, but Bleeding Cool has had two sources telling them that Alan Scott is the character that is making the transition. Article author Rich Johnston, for Bleeding Cool, states that a stronger source confirmed to him that Alan Scott is the gay character to be introduced.

Alan Scott has made an appearance in Earth 2 #1, which was recently launched. Remember though, this has not been officially confirmed; updates will be posted once I found out.
