in the new 52 reboot there is a comic called Earth 2, which is, suprisingly enough, set on earth 2. on this earth Alan Scott is the green lantern, this lantern has no connection to the lantern corps which hal jordan and the others are a part of. this Alan Scott has the character trait that he is gay. it was done because preboot he had a son who was a hero called Obsidian who happened to be gay, in the reboot Obsidian doesnt exist but they still wanted a character to be gay, so they made Alan gay.

but who cares really because it doesnt matter if he is gay or straight or anything else he is still the hero he always was.
