Superman has come out as bisexual. Or more accurately, Superman’s son – Jonathan Kent – who has recently taken on his father’s role in DC Comics, has been depicted kissing another male personality in a panel from a forthcoming comic.
Although the wider public has only recently been made aware of this, comic readers have suspected it for several months after a growing romance between Kent and journalist, Jay Nakamura, in recent issues of Superman: Son of Kal-El. And Kent has introduced his boyfriend to his parents in recent issues of the comic he stars in.
The finding that a Superman is bisexual is a massive deal in terms of superhero comics, but it hasn’t gone down adequately with everyone. Former Superman actor Dean Cain claimed the move would hold been brave 20 years ago but now was “bandwagoning”.
Various Republican senators in the US have complained, including Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers who called him “a woke Superman”. Josh Mandel, who is trying for a senate seat, said, “Bisexual comics for kids [are] trying to destroy America.” And another Arizona Republican, Josh Barnett, asked “Why does Hollywood have to corrupt everything?”

DC CANCELS bisexual superman: Publisher pulls series about Kal-El's son coming out and fighting climate transform deniers after 18 issues as sales plummeted to just 34,000 last month
DC Comics has announced it will axe a recent guide series that was centered on a bisexual Superman.
Superman: Son of Kal-El is based around Jonathan Kent - son of Clark Kent and Lois Path - and was launched by DC Comics last year.
Now amid poor sales the comic manual publisher announced at New York Comic Con that its 18th issue - due to emit in December - will be its last.
In the months after Jon Kent made his debut in July 2021, the 17-year-old ethics embraced various social issues, including university shootings, fighting climate change deniers and the deportation of refugees.
Then in the series' fifth issue Jon Kent began a partnership with a male friend and refugee 'hacktivist' Jay Nakamura.

In October last year Tom Taylor, who authored the series, went to the Fresh York Times to reveal that Kent would be coming out of the closet.
He said in an inter
Except, hmm, this seemed pretty unlikely to me. Superhero comics are still overwhelmingly straight, so the odds of DC revealing two major franchise characters as lgbtq+ within the span of a few months are pretty steep — especially one who is currently wearing the mantle of Superman. So I did a bit of digging to figure out how this rumor got started.
Good news: it’s hilarious.
First, though, who is Jon Kent? Jon is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. He debuted in 2015 and is best known for costarring in the delightful all-ages Super Sons with Damian Wayne, son of Batman and current Robin. Due to convoluted plot shenanigans, Jon was abruptly aged up from 10 years old to 17 a couple years ago, something I plan to harbor simmering resentment about for the remain of my natural life.

Until recently, Jon went by Superboy, but as of July, the regular Superman comic book has been put on hiatus, and Jon has been starring in a monthly series called Superman: Son of Kal-El. The two issues that have published so far have both been excellent.
So! The rumor.
From what I can inform,
'How Gay Is Superman?'
June 19, 2006 — -- He's clearly into fitness, and splashy summer colors.
The new clip about the Human of Steel, "Superman Returns" -- which comes out, er, on June 28 -- is organism advertised on Emblem, the gay and lesbian cable TV channel. Now, the gay magazine, The Advocate, is asking "How Gay Is Superman?"
The Advocate is not claiming that Superman is homosexual. It's making a larger point -- that like many gays and lesbians, Superman has a secret life. In the closet or phone booth, as the case may be, Superman has another identity that he doesn't participate with anyone.
Nonetheless, Warner Bros. executives -- perhaps afraid questions about the Male of Steel's sexual orientation may marginalize the film -- have pushed advocate on The Advocate's query and the Internet buzz it has created.
The film's director, Bryan Singer, who is gay, insisted to Reuters that Superman "is probably the most heterosexual personality in any show I've ever made." Whatever that means.
It's an unusual hour for superheroes and outing.
DC Comics, which publishes "Superman," recently revealed that Batwo
