IS DC REALLY MAKG SUPERMAN GAY?

On Augt 19, Van Sciver ma a livtream which he claimed that “Clark Kent is gog bye-bye” orr to be replaced by Jon, who would then e out as gay, “so Superman is effectively gay. ” Aga, unclear if the s actually thk this is te or are jt fanng the flam of knee-jerk homophobic anger, but this sort of thg happens all the time and generally stays ntaed wh s ual echo chamber. Gay, bi, pan, may be a while till this to un on the page.

Anyone wrg about this mor who is payg enough attentn to the actual ics has intified Jay as Jon’s new love tert — and hey, when I read the issue, I too was like “Well, there’s some homoerotic subtext happeng here! ” But ics have been rife wh homoerotic subtext sce Jon’s dad first cid to wear his unrwear outsi of his pants 1938. On the other hand, if the world at large firmly believ Jon Kent is gay, maybe DC will have to make him gay or risk lookg homophobic…?

Jon Kent is fely gay, and I too have many secret sourc si DC nfirmg this. In Augt, was announced that the latt versn of Rob would have a boyiend while March, Marvel also ma the cisn to pass the mantle of Capta Ameri to a gay the big-screen worlds of Marvel and DC rema ls progrsive.

This November’s Eternals is set to change thgs wh the Marvel Cematic Universe’s first LGBTQ+ kiss between Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos, the first openly gay superhero a Marvel movie, and Haaz Sleiman, who plays his hband. “Characters that were unknown to most of the general public — like Starman, say, or Maggie Sawyer, or Green-Lantern-no-not-the-active-one-wh-a-seri-but-the-olr-one-nobody-outsi-of-ics-fandom-knows-by-name — uld be gay, but Superman had to be able to sell movie tickets and toothpaste the Midwt.

The trend of ics beg ed to make social statements, pecially the area of homosexualy, has been gog on for a while, probably sce the early 1990s.
