Wally was, and is a womanizer. The ultimate skirt chaser. well he WAS. then he got married, which just made him even more interesting. seriously, one of the things I hate about the reboot is that even if Wally comes back not-gay, he still won't be married and I bet Linda gets forgotten along with Lian Harper, Stephanie Brown and 9 10ths of the Geoff Johns era JSA.

Well, Wonder Woman did recently tell Aries "You took someone I love" in reference to Zola, but if it's a character that hasn't shown up yet... We haven't seen Raven yet. Or Question. Not to mention there's plenty of villains it could possibly be. Uh.....unless they go back to the original Question, Question is already gay!

Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen really WERE Gay for Justice! ![](http://i.imgur.com/eq2tn.jpg) No way I'm letting this get no-sold. I laughed heartily! I laughed my ass off, read the thread more, saw this quote laughed more. Still laughing.

Who knows? However I have crossed out folks. I mean can you imagine Wonder Woman with another woman? The thought has crossed my mind before

Who knows? However I have crossed out folks. I mean can you imagine Wonder Woman with another woman? actually yes. and not just because I'm a perv. she kinda had a thing with her friend Io during George Perez' run, he just couldn't be explicit about it. and Wonder Woman's most prominent writers (Perez, Greg Rucka and Gail Simone) all said they wrote her as being bisexual, they just could never make it explicit. even leaving out bondage, there's always been homo-eroticism in Wonder Woman. if they could ever get away with making one of the big seven a gay/lesbian/bisexual, it's Wondy. there's already more than enough subtext to justify it.

And again, it bears noting that she's an Amazon, from an island of Amazons. Not exactly a whole lot of dongs walking around there.

another thing about Wally if they wanted to gay him up, it really doesn't help that his current animated counterpart rather blatantly has the hots for both Miss Martian and Artemis.

It will be sorta lame if it is Wally for the reasons discussed in that there's been nothing ever about that character to even suggest it, so this would be change solely for the sake of it.
Of course, from what I've seen from DC since the reboot, that's pretty much been their M.O.
Plus, since Barry Allen's back to being the 'official' Flash again, it's a little like they'd be having their cake and eating it too. " Look the Flash is gay, but not the REAL Flash".

/\ also, but he;s not Barry Allen the saint of all comics who I secretly masturbate to, so he doesn't have any real fans [/Dan Didio]

Yup, plus it's so weird to me that if Didio etc were such Barry Allen fans, they'd negate his shining moment and really one of THE best heroic moments in the history of the genre by undoing his sacrifice in CoIE.
That's an old discussion of course, but I've never got that. Barry had the ultimate send-off, and went out in a way that maybe no hero woulda ever topped; but nope, gotta bring him back.

it's kinda sad, really. DC talks about how this reboot was supposed to change everything when all it did was dial everything back to year zero and negated every single development and change of the last 30 years back to a Silver Age, pre-legacy heroes status quo with some Liefeld-tastic costume changes.

Has Starman debuted in the reboot yet? Because he was super gay last time I checked.
They could also make it Congorilla because a gay gorilla is awesome (and yes, I do know about Monsieur Mallah. He is awesome)

I've always wanted DC to bring back Wild Dog!
If this is how they do it, I'm still down. ;D

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.....

Next a DC character will come out as "not white."
I mean, its cool and all, but plenty of comic characters have come out as gay and didn't have a press release before hand to capitalize on it. Just seems.....tacky? I guess is the word.
