This has been done some time ago, starting with Northstar of Marvel Comics;
Image

Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, he was intended to be gay but this was not openly stated until 1992 after another character confronted Northstar about how famous and influential people could bring greater attention to LGBT issues and the rising AIDS epidemic. As a result, Northstar came out at a press conference and went on to become a speaker for LGBT rights. He later published an autobiography entitled Born Normal, just before officially joining the X-Men.

He's so progressive, as to be married soon, if not already.

Just because a pic of Bruce Timm's 'Justice League' [Including Hawkgirl] accompanies this article, doesn't mean that one of those members is gay.

Aquaman is married; has a son, and his wife Mera, is one of the strongest ...and sexiest female supporting characters in comics;

Image

The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) was known to be married to a female martian, and had offspring, before coming to Earth; while on occasion he dates human females.

Hawkman and Hawkgirl- nuff said.

Cyborg is more machine, than man these days.

Oh this is so old and lame....

Aquaman walked into a bar and ordered a beer. Another customer noticed that he had a very abnormal skull - so small that it was like a tennis ball sitting on his shoulders. "Say Aquaman" said the drinker, "how come you've got that tiny skull now. Was it a super-villain did that?"

"No" said Aquaman, "just recently I rescued a magic mermaid from a whirlpool and she granted me one wish. I said I'd like to have sex with her. She said 'Look at me - I'm a fish from the waist down'. So I said.

Green Arrow is usually dating someone[female]; most recently he's been dating Black Canary, and in some story lines, they're married.

I'm not sure Batman, has a current 'Robin' ; if he does, it certainly is not Dick Grayson- the original sidekick. He grew up in the comics and donned his own costumed persona of 'Nightwing'

Image


He's never gone back to being Robin, even when he has assisted Batman at times in crime-fighting. One of his most notable romances was to Starfire, while they were both in the Teen Titans.

Later Nightwing, continued to date women.

If it turns out that Robin is not the one who comes out and admits he is gay, all that means is that he has decided not to come out.

Robin is gay.

Only a gay person would wear the costume that he wears.

I'm not saying that all gay super heroes would choose the costume that Robin wears.

I'm only saying that Robin isn't very good at choosing a costume if he's trying to hide the fact that he is gay.

The Batgirl and Nightwing dated briefly; the rumors of her being gay were probably because of [she as her new Persona Oracle] starting an all female crime-fighting team; 'The Birds of Prey', but there weren't any inner-office romances.


Batman is not gay because, the playboy Millionaire, has had a bazillion girlfriends, up to and including the stunningly sexy, Catwoman;

However...


[*WARNING: *SPOILER ALERT! * SPOILER ALERT!*]





...



In the DC Universe, Bruce Wayne has nearly died in the dimension shaking 'Blackest Night' multiple cross-over series. He is in hiatus recovering and can not even recall that he was once The Batman.
To fill that void, Dick Grayson has taken up the mantle/cowl of the Bat, and become the latest Caped Crusader ...and no, he's not gay.

Don't really know who the current Green Lantern is, so I don't know much of anything about him ...so she/he could be gay. LIke LJ said, it isn't the person, the powers are in the ring.
My fav Green Lantern story was when
Duck Dodgers of the 24th and a half Century*** got the ring;

...as played by Daffy Duck

I was almost right. They are making Green Lantern gay, but doing it by reintroducing Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, as a young man. I guess comic books share the bizarre character reappearance thing with soap operas.

Ah! After watching 'Young Justice' this morning [yay! Saturday morning cartoons :ok ] ...I went searching for Superhero updates, and to what did my wondering eyes did appear?

The New Hawkgirl [!!!!!];

This news also explains the Green Lantern's sexuality change;
She'll join the new Earth-2 versions of the Flash (Jay Garrick, seen at the end of #1) and Alan Scott's Green Lantern, who debuts in Earth-2 #3Geeksout
...they can tweek the charaters, because Earth-2 is outside of the 'regular' continuity of the DC Universe. They can always change thier minds and say, 'Oh, that didn't really happen, that was Earth-2... '
I believe the above pic is going to be the cover to Earth-2 #4. So, I'm going to adopt a wait and see approach, before changing my avatar. :D

However, I do like the fact, that this HawkChick packs heat! Image
Image


...and yes, she's black.

Loca: Did you hear they're making Green Lantern gay?

BF: LOL I always thought he was...

Loca: 'Cause he waltzes around in nothing but skin-tight underwear, and jewelry?







He's not just gay, he's a sweet transvestite;
