Did you know that Superman’s son is bisexual? So is Batman’s sidekick, Robin, and lots of other superheroes created by Marvel and DC Comics. The author of the bisexual Superman story says gay people write to say they “burst into tears” when they saw that the characters had become gay.
They became bisexual “out of nowhere!” complains comic creator Eric July to me. “They make it seem as if the only way that you can relate to a character is because you’re gay and that character’s gay, which is nonsense!”
July, who is black, says you don’t have to share the same traits as a superhero to enjoy the character. His favorite was Batman. “I ain’t got Bruce Wayne money, and I’m not rich! And I’m certainly not white.”
