[quote name='bigdaddybruce44']It's less about appealing to any one group and more about desperately trying to grab headlines. But you do have to give it to DC...they got the headlines they wanted. My mother asked me today, "Green Lantern is gay???" For whatever reason, people are talking about this, even though, as many others have already pointed out, they have already been a number of openly gay superheroes, even "prominent" DC characters, like Batwoman and Renee Montoya, who, as The Question, played a pretty big role in Final Crisis.[/QUOTE]
I don't know why people would be so bored/nerdy to be interested in this stuff anyway. Who cares if a fictional comic book character is gay or not, it makes no difference in anyone's lives.
