I'd wait until the comic actually comes out before judging if it was just a cheap move or not (with Robinson it could go either way: killing the little girl in Cry for Justice was pretty cheap). Also wasn't Montoya lesbianized too?
Earth 2 shows these guys as young guys getting started on the present, so Jade and Obsidian don't exist (Robinson said he wanted made Scott gay because DC was losing a gay character).
