I don't know... as much as I like the Ellis/Millar Authority, the whole raison d'être for Apollo and Midnighter is no than "what if Superman and Batman were middle-aged lovers (who adopt! -- sorta) and the raison d'être for the series is "Left-of-center fascist superheroes -- or eff you, Frank Miller!". It's great stuff, but a festival of nuanced characterization --or anything, really-- it is not.The latter makes him into a one-trick pony and is a singular reduction of an otherwise complex being.
A look at The Midnighter and Apollo from the Authority would go a ways to proving that homosexual comic book characters can exist apart from their identity as "gay" and that a mature look at the characters without the cynical hype can do more to mainstream the movement.
Also, consider that the gay Allen Scott isn't being written jointly by a pack of suit-wearing corporate vampire-squids jamming their feeding tubes down the throats (thanks, Matt Taibbi!) of the comic-reading public.
It's being written by James Robinson. A talented writer. Who should eternally be given the benefit of the doubt for his wonderful work on Starman.
