I'm a bit surprised this hasn't really been addressed or discussed on this board in any level of depth.
OK, I get that the people that would have actually grown up with Alan Scott as "their" Green Lantern are either... well, dead or long out of comics, but we're still left with several sects. Some have been familiar with Alan Scott, either through various revivals throughout the 80s or 90s with the JSA or whatnot. Or the GL diehards like myself, at the very least with Alan Scott as basically Kyle Rayner's first teacher. We know him as a dedicated father of two (if estranged, at times) kids and a very dedicated husband. Either way it goes, Alan Scott has been portrayed for the better part of 80 years as a very straight character.
How do you feel about the New 52 not only literally leaving Alan Scott in a ditch (where he was left in the closing issues of JSA pre-Flashpoint) but reborn as a gay man on the separate Earth-2?
