I think it's great. I love the fact that the comic industry is making a conscious effort to 'update' the characters and the storylines to fit a more modern world. That being said...I don't think this movement is as big a leap forward as the public thinks (or fears), but that's another post.
If it gives the writers broader borders to explore and better stories to tell, then...well done. As long as idea to revise Batgirl's sexuality doesn't revolve around the notion of creating controversy for controversy's sake or filling some sort of quota then I think it's a fine idea.

As the Toronto Star pointed out: If you really want to be more population conscious, why aren't there any overweight superheroes?

There are a couple. They're just bad guys.
