Itā€™s not every character, it is just enough it still gets attention and results in hype and sales. If more and more characters who are LGBTQA+ do appear that will eventually make it less of a big deal though, which would be good cuz Iā€™m all for the diversity of voices and characters.

LGBT people are only like 5 percent of the U.S.It seems like pandering to me.Not every single comic book needs a gay or bi character. Jon Kent was into girls until now.

Iā€™d assume as heā€™s bi that means heā€™s still into ladies too. Just open to dating a fella as well. I donā€™t think its pandering so much as it expresses the differences our World has. I feel like 5% is a low number too considering how much of a spectrum sexuality is.

If these clowns were smart, they could create a new LGBT character and not piss anyone off instead of trying to turn everyone gay or bi.

Jonathan Kent has only been around since 2015. Heā€™s a pretty new character and this is just another aspect of him being revealed to readers. If people are pissed off they really need to evaluate what makes them upset.

Yeah.He was always into girls until now.

Again, heā€™s still into girls. Youā€™re missing the forest for the trees so Iā€™m just going to stop trying now.

Lol, who is so insecure that this is pissing them off?

#31

Why does that even matter? I know so many people that got married and had kids with the opposite sex before realizing they were bi or gay.

According to DC Fandom there are over 10,000 characters in the DC universe. That would mean at least 500 are likely LGBT on average.

Can we name them all? Iā€™ll see if I can find a list online.

Also, marvel has 8000 reoccurring charactersā€¦can we name the 400 that are LGBT?

Iā€™m not sure how many have ā€œcome outā€ recently or have always been LGBT for DC and Marvelā€¦. But it doesnā€™t feel like 500 or 400 respectively.

If anyone gets pissed off because a ā€œfictionalā€ character doesnā€™t align with their own sexuality or what they perceived as the characters sexuality should revisit their own life prioritiesā€¦

In reality Iā€™ve seen several men and women in their 30s-50s come out as Bi/Gay so its as normal as anything in life especially for young people/characters still trying to figure themselves out.

Iā€™m 43 and still trying and learning new things about myselfā€¦ itā€™s never ending, until death!

I commented in one of the several fb group post about this saying ā€œWhere was this rage when harley and Ivy came out as a BI couple?..oh wait its sexy so its acceptableā€. Then a guy commented ā€œTwo girls kissing is sexy and two guys kissing is disgustingā€. I left it alone after that lol. Guy basically proved my point.

Iā€™m so out of the loop with reading anything Marvel or DC produces; that Iā€™m still trying to figure out who Jon Kent is after this entire thread. I thought Clark Kent is Superman :man_shrugging:

Half Kidding btw

I donā€™t care if he is gay, bi or straight. I am not interested in Superman Jon Kent comics before or after this announcement.
