au where dc kept up with kon and kyle's friendship post-idol worship just so that kon could show up at radu's regularly. not only would this make kyle's life harder because for the love of god, superboy, some of us have secret identities!!! but also i think desperately overinvested Totally Straight Ally kon-el meeting terry berg could've been something. there could've been TWO teenagers playing video games on kyle's couch and passing judgment on his love life. kyle just has the vibes of someone who needs to be harassed by teenagers for our amusement, you know?

Kinda hoping we get to see Terry again when Kyle becomes the main Earth Lantern but I don’t think Jeremy Adams even knows who Terry is so I’m not gonna kid myself.

Judd Winick I may hate your Batman stuff but you cooked with Green Lantern. When you left we got that horrible cheating storyline so pls come back 😭🙏

Bunch of green lantern guys! I've been really enjoying Kyle's run, Jen is funny and I love Kyle having a little brother dynamic with Terry and it's just generally very cute

In 2001-2002 there were these little bits of Kyle Rayner's Green Lantern run by Judd Winnick that were heavily focused on sexuality. Mainly about Kyle's teenage assistant Terry Berg. Terry was assigned to help Kyle by the illustration company Kyle worked for. And they became pretty good friends. Kyle at this point in time lived in SoHo (Lower Manhattan) with Jennie Lynn-Hayden or Jade the daughter of the original Green Lantern Alan Scott. Jade for background is like a living Green Lantern ring and her skin is green because of this.

So let's get into the issue I'm going to discuss. Green Lantern vol 3 #137. This released in 2001

So Kyle tells Terry he proposed to Jenny and she rejected him (they had recently gotten back together and she told him to slow his roll which he got but it still stung a bit) this made Terry very standoffish.

He and Kyle argue Terry says some pretty terrible things. Kyle yells at him for it.

To which Terry starts crying and Kyle realizes Terry has a crush on him as he runs off.

Then Kyle's like manager? Andre or something comes and what follows is one of my favorite comic sequences ever. Modern comics on sexuality could never be this organically funny

"God. What about you, Man. You're an unmarried artist living in Greenwich Village. What do you think people say about you?"

Yeah Kyle what do the people say about you?

"Have you insulted anyone else about their sexual orientation this afternoon?"

"No just two, but the day isn't over..."

Very good Kyle set your goals high

So then Kyle realizes he is the very last to figure out Terry was gay and thinks maybe he could use a therapist to talk it out with. To which Jenny calls him a moron because the only person Terry will want to talk it out with is Kyle and send him off to go tell Terry the truth. Whatever that means to Kyle

Kyle's little cross "so" he's so awkward I'm obsessed. But Kyle starts giving Terry a pep talk. "And I don't really a lot of insight on this subject. But I do know this-- it's perfectly normal to ask these questions about yourself." And he promises Terry there is nothing wrong with him and Terry is getting pretty cheered up about it.

And then Kyle makes it clear. He's real flattered however

"But I'm with someone."

"And you're not gay."

"No I'm not. And you're sixteen. And, like I said, I'm with someone."

There is a point here that Kyle is rejecting Terry on the ground of being a kid and Kyle is dating someone else. Terry is the one who brings up Kyle not being gay. Which Kyle confirms he's not gay. But this entire story hinges on Kyle having never thought about this and then sitting down besides a teenager with no clue what to say other than it's normal to question this about yourself.

And the story ends off with Kyle and Terry joking around and a good hug and Kyle telling Terry he was very brave today.

[The next bit of Judd Winnick writing Kyle having personal feelings about sexuality as a whole is a much less feel good story. It's the Hate Crimes two issue arc in 2002. Which I discuss here if anyone is interested]
