Cut them some slack. It won't be long before they introduce Earth 69 and everyone will be gay.

That'll be the horny Earth, where the only crime is not putting out.

Under the right circumstances...

Now that you mention it, I can't remember if he was a top or a bottom.

That's Earth-33

(If you turn 33 sideways i looks like balls on balls)

LMFAO!

This made me laugh.

No, that will be a different Earth where R Kelly will be the High Evolutionary...

See, I hope they don't do something like that -- that's overly complex, isn't it?

What made Jade and Obsidian distinctive at all was the fact that they were Alan Scott's kids, twins, via his marriage to Thorn.

I'm absolutely fine in with Alan Scott being gay in a new, rebooted universe. But from here on, let the character have his own destiny. Tell new stories with the character.

Don't box Alan Scott in now with two kids, now that you've changed something fundamental about the character. Tell new stories with him and let the character have his own history.

So what you are saying is a gay man can't possibly have biological kids??

No they cannot. They are without the womb for it.

No, what I am saying is that if almost everything is different, the reality itself is different, then why should Alan Scott have kids at all? Why box the character into that role?

Al Pratt's walking around. By definition, that means this is a totally new ballgame.

Some of you guys can't have it both ways; you want change in books and concepts and call people out when somebody else doesn't, but then when someone acknowledges "Oh, this is different, might as well let the character be different and create a different legacy," then it seems that some of you are OK with things being the same when it's a direction you want to be the same.

For example:
Alan Scott was not gay. Now he is gay. Some people: "Hey, that's a great change. It's supposed to be a different Earth 2, so it's OK."
Alan Scott had two superhero kids named Jade and Obsidian. Now, some advocate...that Alan Scott has two superhero kids named Jade and Obsidian. Those people: "Well, we wanted change, supported change, but want that to stay the same."

How does that work, again? I'm trying to detect the microscopic difference between ridiculing somebody for wanting, say, Ted Kord to be alive and like he was before and advocating that Jade and Obsidian be alive and like they were before.

I could care less if he has the kids or not, but just because he's gay it shouldn't stop him from potentially having the twins...

True.

The fact that he is clearly too young to have kids as old as Jade and Obsidian would be, even if they were teenagers, is the bigger issue.

What I'm saying has nothing to do with issues of sexuality. It has everything to do with "predetermined character progression for entirely different characters."

Again, it would kinda suck for people who liked things the way they were to have a character's entire previous history erased...so that new character can wind up exactly where they were before their entire history was erased.

Maybe, now that's he's gay in this Universe, he wasn't attracted to women and decided to not have sex with them.

Oh sure, make him a stereotypical gay man who likes to have sex with other men.
