I would've preferred keeping the Earth 2 version around instead of retconning the original. He could've still had Jade and Obsidian just in a different way.
Ted Grant (Wildcat) never had an affair with Dinah’s mom. That was Ted Knight, Starman, that did.
Ted Grant has gotten with many women and one night stands over the years. Including Selina Kyle and the Latina mother of his his out-of-Wedlock son. He also got with the mother of his second-out-of-wedlock son, name Tom.
Also with Hippolyta.
And so many numerous other women, that Ma Hunkel had to warn her own daughter, Do Not Get With Ted!!
Did he ever do it with Selina or was it just one sided attraction on his part?
I wouldn't mind if they did it. I've read a couple of comics where Ted and Selina teamed up. He was attracted to her in one of them but they didn't consummate in that comic.
EDIT: Typo. They didn't consummate.

It's exactly this. They're probably going to have her be dead so they can say that he stayed in the closet to make sure he never had to break her heart.
I've seen some calls for Jay, which I disagree with entirely given how affectionate he's always been with his wife and how often their marriage is highlighted. They're the sweethearts of the Golden Age.
As for Doc Mid-Nite, Pieter is bisexual in my own head canon, though that's mostly based on the rumors I've heard that Wagner intended him to be gay, his established relationships with women, and the interesting angle of a religious man reconciling his faith with his sexual orientation. I think it takes nothing away from him and only adds/enhances his narrative.

I dont see why much of anything has to change about Alans past with females. he can still have dated and love multiple women but not BE in love with them.
These two right here...married 20 years. He's gay and they are BFFs now.
Anecdote is not evidence. There must be multiple cases like this one but also I am pretty sure than there are stories which didn't resolved in the best way. Divorces and families than broke apart and never talked each other anymore or when only one of the parts ended with a happy ending and the other feeling betrayed or cheated and felt stolen of his/her life.
Talking about the case specific of Alan Scott and Molly is set in specific situations. Naturally the easy way is to make retcon of several of the past stories involving Alan and Molly: forget than Alan went to hell to save her soul, how Molly spend practically her whole life waiting for Alan. And it was Alan who stopped her when she was leaving his life.
