On a gay Green Lantern

Just posting a link to my article on DC's decision to make Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, gay. Does anyone else agree this was a hollow and cynical concession? http://fundividedattention.wordpress.com/2012/06/03/great-scotts-dcs-closet-come-out-cop-out/

Well, based on my extensive research (not), [url=http://www.towleroad.com/2012/06/glout.html]the ’mos don't seem universally pleased either[/url]. OMG! It's just like [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/8]Prometheus[/url]!

DC has what's referred to as the Multiverse.......Numerous parallel dimensions existing and frequently facing interdimensional interaction between characters from these various universes.....I skimmed an article about our gay Lantern here and, apparently, DC is running stories from a specific dimension other than EARTH -1, it's mainline universe, called EARTH -2.......This new, gay, Alan Scott is apparently part of that roll out......

So this means that it's just some kind of revisionist history? Like [url=http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/]this[/url]? I still don't know what "concession" means in the original post. Was DC lobbied by human rights activists? Is the word "pandering" more relevant? Perhaps I should go read about this somewhere gay...

What does "concession" mean in this context? Was DC being petitioned by the Internation LGBT Comic Consumers Board to change a straight person into a gay one? I know nothing about this except that it was announced. I never even saw [url=http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/greenlantern/]this film[/url]. So Ryan Reynolds’ character is now retroactively gay in another universe? I am — needless to say — somewhat confused.

I think you're right. Pandering is probably more succinct here!
