    Yes folks, he's finally come out of the closet! Green Lantern will be shown with his boyfriend in the comic "Earth 2."

    Now that should please Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory. who seems to be the biggest fan of Green Lantern, and just revealed he's gay too...

    Coincidence?

    Does this mean Sheldon will find a boyfriend next season? (that would be a good plot twist, but I'm not sure Chuck Lorre is ready for that yet)

    The article states that gay characters are coming out all over the comic book world. Another reason that the younger generations don't have a problem with it.

    I suppose it's just what the Gay world needs, more gay superheroes...

    I think it's the other way around, the younger generations are more accepting which is why more gay superheros are popping up. Pretty awesome in any case though, the superhero world could use a bit of diversity.

    I don't think the younger generations got that way by themselves. There's been a whole lot going on politically and socially, but also media has had a big impact in how people view the issues involving gay ppl.

    TV shows like Will and Grace, lots of celebrities coming out, laws against hate crimes, legalizing gay marriage, etc. have all had an effect. I think the TV comedies had the biggest effect, cause if you can laugh at it, and see gay ppl portrayed as "normal" except for their sexuality, it has a big impact on how ppl think about gays.

    I'm guessing most kids in school now have at least one gay friend (except maybe in uptight Xtian communities.)

    I'm glad DC is showing more openly gay hero even if not in the main world, show a huge step in our generation but I hope their just competing with Marvel either. Either way good news.

    Sounds like a rip off of the comic book on the Queer as Folk show. Not the actual character, but him being gay.

    On the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) has a "relationship" with "Amy Farrah Fowler", and their whatever-you-want-to-call-it really fits in quite well with the overall dynamics of the show. I'm not saying someone shouldn't be gay on there - but Sheldon and Amy seem to "fit" well together. Soooo, can anybody tell I am entirely too entertained by foolish sitcoms? :D

    I think it is refreshing (for some reason) that it is turning out the Green Lantern is gay. A little less than a hundred years ago (lol), I know that my brother had a very, very hard time in confronting his sexuality in his teen years (he told me years later)...so I guess that is why I'm glad/find it "good" that being gay is being shown and accepted in the world of comics.

    Maybe you misunderstood. Sheldon isnt' going gay, the actor has just come out.

    I don't think there's much room on that show for a shifting like that. They do address some alternative sexuality with 'Amy' and her lusting for Penny, though. It's cute.

    ^ I agree on the 2nd part :)...I was just sort of addressing what Skip said in his OP regarding IF maybe JP would come out on the show, but probably that would be too much for CL. I just didn't quote it, but in my own (fumbling) way "spoke" to it....but yes I, too, find Amy's sort-of attraction to Penny cute/funny as hell. :D

    Its not so much that Jim Parsons was ever in the closet, just that no one was really interested in his personal life until the show got huge


    As for the Gay world needing more Gay superheroes:

    Big on superheroes and comics myself so was always going to be into Smallville when it started, but Welling was a big bonus, freakin ridiculous how good looking he is

    And just for the hell of it, here are some pics:

    Also:

    Just to set the record straight, I dont think most of team Gay are going to care whether he is gay or not, live action version currently is Ryan Reynolds who is still a bit of a dick. Or whether Northstar is gay, doubt you'll ever see a big budget Northstar movie, and the reason for that is probably more to do with him being Canadian than gay ;)

    Its far more about whether they are hot or not
