Interesting read, below is a brief excerpt of the article:

The DC Batwoman comic character is a lesbian and now DC plans to make a mainstream super hero a gay character

Since Superman is the most successful comic character in the DC universe and is married it will not be him.

Batman has a son, and while that speculation (Gay) could have been possible during the mid-sixties with the TV show starring Adam West, it is also not likely given the number of comic titles and movies Batman is involved in.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) just received a revival and with other Lantern’s such as John Stewart it is possible, but unlikely DC would “out” him.

The Flash has gone through several transformations. He was scientist Barry Allen, then he died and his sidekick Wally West (Kid Flash) became the Flash. Never a strong enough comic book character to be considered irreplaceable he could be a possibility.

Aquaman also has not been a character capable of supporting sales for an extended period of time in his own comic book. He is married to Meara, which could present another issue altogether.

Wonder Woman has been a heroine since Nazi’s represented a real American threat, and is almost as strong as Superman. She grew up on Paradise Island with all women and men are forbidden on the Island. There is a possibility it could be her.

If anybody else is able to pull some information about this it would be interesting to see. I am curious as to how this will affect the brand, will the gay character be in the next movie. Since Marvel is blowing up with the Avengers, just wondering what would happen if one of the X-men was gay in the next movie in that franchise, would there be more people or less people watching......

Lol. DC and gay just make so much sense.

By in all seriousness, if they're doing this just for the publicity or to make some dumb political statement then shame on them.

Why not just create a new character if they wanted have a gay character?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
