My thought is they are going to sell a lot less Green Latern constumes, etc, to kids, as few little boys want to be called a “fag.”
On the bright side, all the bull queers will now dress as Green Latern, so that will make up for some of the loss.
It’s not so much that there is a gay superhero, it’s that they changed him. They “improved” him by making him gay.
Would they ever take a gay character and re-write him to make him straight? No.
LOL @ Alan Scott being gay. Bunker is also gay. I don’t any others from the New 52 off the top of my head, but I honestly don’t give a shit.

My first thought is that it’s weird that you think a gay green lantern is ‘unsafe’ for children. That’s an unabashedly homophobic statement. wtf is unsafe? that a child might find out that people can be gay? that you as a parent might have to explain this to him?
And last time I checked, most mainstream comic books aren’t about the super hero ‘banging’ his girlfriend… so why would making the super hero gay make the comic book overly sexualized? This doesn’t make sense. You think DC’s planning on making Green Lantern into gay pornography?
I’m still hoping they’ll reveal that Batman is gay.
I’ve always been suspicious of his suave, yet hoarse and abrupt voice…

That’s a distorted historical perspective. The fact that most major comic book characters originated decades ago is the reason there is a lack of major gay heroes. That would be the reason to re-write straight characters as gay, and not vice-versa.
It’s not as if it’s an “improvement” as in gay is better. It’s simply better to make superheroes more culturally diverse as societies prejudices have changed (at least in DC’s opinion).
You know Nick Fury used to be white, right? Any complaints about the fact that they ‘changed him’? Didn’t think so.

Oh come on… it’s not like it’s porn. I don’t think the comics will be about GL sticking it in his BF’s asshole pages after pages, lol.
I personally think it’s great. Why shouldn’t kids know about different sexual preferences anyway?
Just make sure you keep them away from weird websites, and porn. Especially gay porn, if that bothers you. More harmful than reading rated U comics about gay characters. No?

What is funny is Alan Scott’s son Obsidian is gay. I think it’s a waste the character’s been married twice and it feels they’re making him gay just to make him gay, at least Bunker was always supposed to be gay. The sad part is the new 52 has been a huge let down
Also we all know Batman is the first gay character

LOL at “homophobia.” No one is “afraid” of queers.
Having gay sex is extremely unhealthy (far worse, tham, say smoking) and gays overwhelmingly report that they are unhappy and unsatisfied with life.
It’s not normal behavior and has not been tolerated in almost any society, in the world, for thousands of years.
So, yes, we should not teach children that deviant behavior is normal or OK. It’s not.
Now, will I discriminate against you? Nope.
Everyone has their cross, and yours is a desire to have hairy men pound your ass raw in rest stops along the highway.
That’s your business.
But will I teach my (future) children that it’s OK to get pounded in the ass at rest stops? No. I will teach them that engaging in gay sex is an almost certain path to a miserable life.

You’re making a strawman argument (if you don’t know what that is, look it up). You put a whole bunch of words in my mouth, because you don’t have any real argument with what I said. First off, you assumed I was gay (I’m married to a woman FYI). Then you went into arguments about getting pounded at rest stops? lol@that. What you’re talking about there has nothing to do with straightness or gayness. Truckers fuck prostitutes at rest stops. Does that mean they represent the whole or majority of straight people? of course not. You’re associating gayness with promiscuity. Straight people are just as promiscuous (a big reason most marriages end in divorce).
Now for the rest of your points. Show evidence that gay sex in a monogamous relationship is unhealthier than smoking. Your point, as I understand it, is really that promiscuity is dangerous. I won’t argue against that. Gay sex in and of itself is not.
Gays report being unhappy. You think this might have something to do with the way they’re treated by ignorant people? Just a thought.
It has not been tolerated by many societies in history? That’s just plain false. Crack open a book or two and read about Ancient Greece, the Renaissance period in Europe, the entire history of Asia, ancient Egypt, and ancient Rome, just to name some off the top of my head.
Just because you don’t know about homosexuality in world history doesn’t mean it’s not there.
If you can’t come up with a better argument than “I ain’t gon’ let none of my kin get butt fucked at dem gas stations, no sir”, then GTFO.
