But ultimately, I think, if it draws attention to, you know, the fact that Alan Scott is this cool, heroic guy that would risk his life for the world and for his people, and is the kind of guy that if you had to give one person superpowers, it would be Alan Scott. And the fact that he happens to be gay as well, if it draws attention to the fact that he's this great person and that gay people are great people. You know, if people are scared of gay characters or gay people in reality, just move with the times, man, and just realize that we all have to live together and you know, if you're religious and you believe in God, God believes in tolerance and love, not in hate and bigotry.
