Green Lantern is gay now
Confirming what many have long suspected but didn't want to say anything because it's not really their place, DC Comics has officially revealed that the Green Lantern is gay now, a change made as part of the publisher's New 52 reboot and an overall initiative by the industry to include more gay characters and provoke hyperbolic comments about them from the usual moral watchdog groups. "Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models?" cried the perpetually hand-wringing One Million Moms, once again answering its own ridiculous questions with a stock statement of outrage that included the words "brainwash" and "indoctrinate" and "lifestyle choice," and other things we don't need to quote because you've already heard them.
