But when you put that excerpt together wh Gay Guy, you have to wonr if the flamboyant superhero was a wk, wk, nudge, nudge parody done by a somewhat tactls (but talented) llege kid, or if he was emblematic of an ia Byrne held for some time that there were certa ways “queers” should look and act that somehow ma them ls than their straight unterparts.

Charlie is a high-stng, openly gay over-thker who meets Nick, the cheerful soft-hearted gby player currently g to terms wh his sexualy. Knowg that he is one of the olt and most outspoken creators out there, I asked Brian to offer his two cents on Alan Stt and what means to him as a gay man, and what uld mean GLBT ic book fans everywhere:**********The Big GAY Deal That Wasn't -Much rabow nfetti has been thrown sky high of late honor of DC Comics recent cisn to make one of their send-tier (more like *ugh* 45th-tier) characters an out, proud, gay man. Beg an out, proud, gay man myself – one who lov and has read ics for almost 30 years and who also cheerfully creat his own die le of gay-themed ics aimed at anyone and everyone – I uldn't be happier and more thankful to more we GLBTers have a prence mastream pop culture, whether TV, movi or our beloved ic books, the more we have a voice and the closer we get to wi spread acceptance.
Not to go all red, whe & blue and ialistic on your rear ends, but every mory serv to have a voice; to see their stori told our entertament and to be rpected and treated wh digny, regardls of a person's fundamental, God-fearg feelg towards that I may be pretty stoked about Alan Stt's big gay outg I have to be hont; this isn't que as HUGE a al as the ters, bloggers, 24 hr news channels and hateful bigots (what's up One Milln Moms? " Welp, the fact that the new gay the DCU is ar-old Alan Stt aka the-Green-Lantern-that-no-non-ic-book-rear-knows-about-and-get's-nfed-for-Hal-Jordan-and-Ryan-Reynolds only serv to mimize the whole Ka-Pow factor of the announcement. Sure havg a Green Lantern as a member of the ever growg ic book homo squad is pretty fabulo but if DC really wanted to be darg and give the world a universe fg, culture changg gay character they uld have - and should have - gone would have been Batman, Superman, Aquaman or hell, Plastic Man, then I would have happily danced the gay jig of joy and joed on the huge DEAL that has been ma of this announcement.
