General Zod is fa-bu-lous! *snaps fingers* Fixed. This reminds me when Northstar was announced as gay but atleast they said Northstar is coming out and not making it some kind of mystery.

I'm wondering, maybe it's not going to be a hero. maybe it'll be a villain or some other recurring character who hasnt shown up yet.
speaking of gay characters, all the other rogues are back so where the hell is Pied Piper? is it because he's Wally's friend so he gets put in the same embargo as everyone else?

People mentioned Wonder Woman earlier.
I honestly can not see them doing that, and that one as mentioned, would at least make some storyline sense, wouldn't be an out of left field thing.
But with her being one of the 'Big Three', I don't see DC having the balls to do that as it'd get some negative publicity as much as positive, ya know it would. Ties into what we're saying about if it is Wally, it's sorta shallow, because they can go- see Flash is gay--but not really have to have him be front and center cuz they've got Barry.

If they do go with Wonder Woman, she is about to get married to Hades (in exchange for another character's freedom) right now so they could work that into the storyline pretty easily.

In comic speak the word "iconic" can mean anyone that has ever been put to page.

Is Music Meister an actual character in the DCU, or was he made up for Brave and the Bold? If not, why not him? Just look at who his voice actor is.

just had a thought... Captain Marvel's pretty iconic, and he's getting a whole new origin. he's never really been sexual anything before, his only canonical relationship was with Stargirl, who currently doesn't exist, and it didn't last annyway. and his origin story is currently a part of JLA's solicit for june. just read DC's solicits for June and Wally isn't mentioned anywhere, so it probably isn't him (I mean lets give DC some credit- they're not this stupid... usually)

Use an iconic, though non-central character.

I'll still expect the same vitriolic backdraft Wally would get if it is Captain Shazam, though, even though he's a character I wouldn't have as much of a problem with.
edit: maybe it won't be Billy himself, but the Wizard (who probably won't be called Shazam anymore) will be gay, as a shout-out to Dumbeldore.

What if it is actually the teen that summons him? (really not that familiar with the character. That's how he works, right?)

well yeah, that's Billy. but these days he tends to be written as being Billy in both forms anyway. Batman: Brave and the Bold got a lot of mileage out of "boy in a man's body" for example

The sad thing about Northstar is that poor character is really only ever relevant when it has to do with his sexuality. As far as I'm aware, they may've really developed his character in the last few years and I just don't know about it; but the only time you ever hear about him in any sorta publicity at all when it's dealing with him being gay.
Kudos to Marvel anyway.
It's still so odd to me to think that Archie is the most progressive company by far when for so many decades they were stuck in a time warp.

Logocally speaking, I assume ghey will want it to be someone they can point to, but someone that doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things. In terms of confirmed redebuts happening soon, Captain Cold os confirmed for the upcoming Flash annual, with a new vest top look. The JSA are debuting over the summer, written by Robinson too, and he certainly isn't afraid of writting gay/bi characters. Maybe someone like Wildcat Ted Grant, or even Alan Scott Green Lantern (though that would delete Jade and DC's forgotten gay Obsidian) or Flash Jay Garrett, so it's a top level character, but not THE top level character..... Besides Ted Grant. All those guys showed up already
