Since adaptation is something natural, and since I'm sick and tired of idiots saying "BuT DiVeRSiTy iS KiLLiNG MuH CoMiCS" I would like to make a unique post.
Post characters who would benefit from a change in their sexuality.

I mean, considering that Alan was openly homosexual in the Earth 2 comics, so it isn't as if Alan's homosexuality came out of left field.
Furthermore, closeted homosexuals who had long term relationships with people of the opposite sex do exist irl. Famous examples include people like Freddy Mercury.
And last but not least, Alan Scott's closeted homosexuality adds something to the character. It gives him a breath of fresh air, while not being contradicted by continuity. In addition, let's be real, Alan Scott isn't the most interesting character. Him being a closeted homosexual gives his character a new dimension, that makes him more special compared to the rest of the Golden Age heroes and the other Green Lanterns that have appeared over the years.
He spent years of his life and fathered kids with his wife, she's obviously important to his life. My point isn't that he never cared for her.
That doesn't mean that he couldn't have been in the closet for all those years. Irl examples similar to Alan do exist. Take for example AJ McLeen who was a closeted homosexual, with a wife and kids, who was married for over 20 years. Because he has a wife, it doesn't mean that he couldn't have possibly been homosexual.
