I'm disappointed in this decision. I don't have an issue with gay characters, I just wish it had been someone other than Alan Scott. In the previous continuity, Alan had this wonderful relationship with his wife Molly. Also, Alan fathered two children. Making him now a gay character takes all that away and ensures those relationships will never exist.
Seems to me it might have made more sense for another JSA member to be gay. Perhaps someone without a strong marriage in their long history. Certain JSA members have long-term, well-known marriages, such as: Jay & Joan Garrick (Flash), Kent & Inza Nelson (Dr Fate), Alan & Molly Scott (Green Lantern), Ted & Doris Knight (Starman), Carter & Shiera Hall (Hawkman), and Wesley & Dian Dodds (Sandman). I think it would have made more sense for someone else to be gay, such as: Hourman (Rex Tyler), Al Pratt (The Atom), Ted Grant (Wildcat), Jim Corrigan (Spectre), the new Mister Terrific, or even Charles McNider (Doctor Mid-Nite). I realize many of those were also married, but their relationships were rarely mentioned in the past 60 years. Actually, Doctor Mid-Nite would have been a great choice. He had a history as a real playboy. That would be a great cover for someone who is gay. Just my two cents.
