Another Superhero is Gay

  
    Hmm. My take on this is if you're going to make Northstar, Vibe, Alan Scott all gay and OUT, then you're doing it just for the sake of having a gay hero. Why don't the writers take the tougher challenge of making the character gay but be on the in the closet because of how it would affect his private life or that of his standing as a public hero. No, they wouldn't do that because it would be too much of a challenge for them. Plus the fact that it would look bad if they tried to use another hero to represent the homophobic side of things. As writers of superheroes, they should be used to how heroes keep on the down low their secret identities for all types of reasons. Wouldn't it be more challenging? Why can't they do that with the secret of their sexual orientation?

Just sayin'.
