Nodell got the idea for Green Lantern on a New York City subway when he noticed an engineer holding out a lantern. "It was green, which meant things were safe," he said.

When any of our families are politicized, it is an assault on our ability to protect ourselves, each other and our children. When people like Dobson profess "concern" for the welfare of children, while simultaneously attacking those very children's parents and family structures, their insincerity becomes evident. If their paramount focus is truly the health and well-being of children, then we invite Dobson and his colleagues to join...
