If indeed Alan Scott is to be gay, I hope it is handled tactfully, respectfully, and with a very thorough storyline, I have grown so tired of the stereotypical percieved gay male in the media. Not all gay males are of the effeminate as is frequently portrayed, I would hope we have moved past…
Can you name me these effeminate gay characters? I can name two: Extrano and Bunker.
I actually think it’s great they introduced Bunker, because when gay characters are introduced, they steer clear of more flamboyant character types to avoid being accused of being stereotypical. So having Bunker there for the ‘Kurt Hummel’ gay teens was a welcome change.
If we’re talking comic gay stereotypes, then the stereotype is a guy who you can’t even tell is gay. Which helps when you want to hide them, and their sexuality, in the background.
