There are hundreds of Green Lanterns in DC. 5 are Human. Only 2 have gottne the most shine in recent memory. 1 of them got so much attention that folks started thinking there was only a Black GL. Alan Scott, the gay one, isnt even a real Green Lantern. Dude is irrelevant. DC went so far as to make the Earth 2 Alan Scott a homo. How is he mainstream when he's been retconned outta continuity and he's from an alternate universe?
Marvel made Spiderman, a New York icon, a homo not too long ago. A homo Negro rican. It didnt matter than it was a alternate universe Spiderman, ppl bytched and moan then forgot. This aint even news worth bytching over.
