Green Lantern relaunched as gay -- three moms outraged
Found on CNet News on Saturday, 02 June 2012
Today it was announced by DC Comics that the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, is re-emerging as a gay man.
It's not as if he's the first ever gay superhero, after all. In the DC Comics world, Batwoman, aka Kate Kane, is a red-headed lesbian, and the world seems to have survived that just fine.
Naturally, there has been a little moral saber-rattling at the news. The One Million Momsorganization -- which may or may not enjoy the pleasure of a million moms -- fulminated foamingly.
It's more surprising that there aren't more. I mean, most of them are wearing spandex suits and tights in all colors of the rainbow.
