Alan scott gay

With the launch of DC's Infinite Frontier, Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern and co-founder of the Justice Society of America, has confirmed that he is a gay man. The answer is that Alan Scott has indeed been gaycoded since his very first appearance in All-American Comics () # To some, that's a highly controversial line of thinking but it's one reliably proven by any dedicated read of Alan's entire publication history.

After weeks of reports, HBO Max has officially filled the role of Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern of Earth who came out as gay in the pages of DC Comics, for the upcoming Lantern. With his return to mainstream comics continuity, DC has confirmed that the original version of Alan Scott, better known as the Golden Age Green Lantern, is now a gay man.

Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, made his comic debut back in But thanks to the modern story development of Alan Scott coming out as gay, he remains surprisingly relevant to. Sheridan's victim propaganda fanfic continues. I'm loling that Arkham wasn't evil enough, they needed a converstion therapy ward. Oh my stars.

These people are so out of touch. But this is not an Elseworlds story, althought there is no reason this could not have been an Elseworlds publication, as done to address other persecution of people e. Such persecution against gays is unquestionably cruel, sick, and really "obscene. Tim also has not done his history research again. Those USA military gays persecuted with blue discharge definitely were not allowed to rejoin military, in fact they were even prevented from gaining veteran's benefits.

And rewrites USA history while its at it. The policy was reportedly discontinued in As everyone knows, Alan Scott went on to be a radio engineer, after his railroad days. On radio engineer, think "computer engineer" as relevant comparison. When he wants to create an Elseworlds GL story for that, I am good with that. But just randomly rewriting GL Alan Scott's origin for canon is absolutely not necesssary to do that.

And it is counterproductive in other ways. Let us also be clear, as obscene as USA medical acts against gays were, they were not literally marching them to the gas chambers like Nazi Germany. I think the new story is moving, sad, important, necessary to be read. We need to hear about this and other continuing abuses by USA. Writers need a freedom like DC Elseworlds to tell those stories. Tim should have a platform to tell his story as part of DC Elseworlds.

Gay and trans people have always existed. Telling a story like this in a historical context is important because, even as these things were happening, very few people were in a position to talk about it openly.

Love the way Sheridan is incorporating and reframing all these elements of the original Alan Scott comics that have largely gone unexplored over the last 80 years. The way it's all weaving together is really fantastic and maybe the best, most nuanced writing Alan has ever gotten. No knocks on some of my favorite JSA runs, but those were team books with other priorities.

In fact, nothing you said does. Calling a trendy retcon "exploring" doesn't justify it or make it good, or elevate any story involving it. I agree it is important and does need to be told. There are lots of DC Elseworld stories with totally different versions of the characters. Gay people existed. Trans is a cult ideology that tells gay effeminate men and masculine lesbians that they should chemically sterilize and mutilate their bodies to be "their true selves".

Or are you talking about the history of eunuchs.
