Well we've tried black green lantern. Woman green lantern. And gay green lantern. What's next?

How about disabled green lantern!

Grey Lantern.
The lantern is still green, but it identifies as grey.

What if he identifies as a flashlight instead of a lantern. Lanterns seem very 18th century much like slavery.

Flashlight? You mean Fleshlight, right?

I agree. He identifies as the grey Fleshlight.

John Stewart (black green lantern) was actually pretty cool though. It was a good way to reset the power creep that Hal Jordan had been getting.

John Stewart was also introduced well before any of the IdPol bullshit that currently infests the industry, so he's actually a developed character and not a one-dimensional stereotype, author mouthpiece, or pandering token.
