Jonathan Kent is the son of the most famous Superman, Clark Kent. In an upcoming issue, Superman: Son of Kal-El #5, he’s slated to kiss his buddy Jay, outing himself to the audience as bisexual.

The character was first introduced to the world in 2015, making him a relatively new character to the DC ‘verse. With that in mind, one would think he’s exactly the type of character the people complaining about queer characters in major franchises would be thrilled to have come out. After all, the common refrain when the people in charge make an existing character queer, or even just when fans suggest it would fit, is that gay people should just get their own new queer characters rather than co-opting the old.

And in a world where Superman has been around for almost 83 years, having Jon Kent around for the last six makes him practically an infant.

But shockingly enough, it would seem that the same people claiming they only want new LGBTQ characters for the sake of the community are pretty full of it.

Fortunately, no one is listening to them. New Superman is bisexual, and that’s all there is to it.

So to celebrate the disappointment of conservative bigots everywhere clutching their pearls about the horrors of two boys kissing, here are some of the worst takes about certified bisexual Jon Kent along with some of the best takes ABOUT the worst takes about certified bisexual Jon Kent.

How bad are things? Things are so bad that Democrats are trying to tell you Superman is bisexual.

A BISEXUAL SUPERMAN? WHAT’S NEXT, MOVING OUT OF MY PARENTS’ BASEMENT??

Superman, a flying bulletproof alien who shoots lasers out of his eyes, got Lois Lane, a human woman, pregnant, but the fact that their child is gay is just too unrealistic.

Superman comes out as BISEXUAL. Woke Superman will start a relationship with his friend.

Clark Kent (the original Superman) still loves Lois (not Louis) Lane. DC comics (not Hollywood) have revealed Clark & Lois’ son Jon (the current Superman) is bisexual (not gay). Current Superman’s love interest isn’t Lois Lane because she is his mother & that would be messed up. https://t.co/erZBdwNuhM

Hold the phone, are you telling me the people who believe that #COVID mask and vaccine mandates are taking away your freedoms and that #Covidvaccine gives people magnetic powers think that the son of Superman being gay is unrealistic?

People do realize that Jon Kent, Clark Kent’s son, is a fictional character and that Superman isn’t real, right? Also, why aren’t we freaked out about a Kryptonian alien having sex with a human woman? Anyway, the GOP is attacking our democracy and engaged in a slow-moving coup.

And as much fun as dunking on homophobes always is, let’s not forget that making comics (and other stories) more inclusive really makes a difference for people who want to see themselves represented in media, and that’s what actually matters.

Robin’s come out as bisexual and now Superman… I need to see all these queer superheroes coming together to form a squad like all queer people do. https://t.co/GCEBpIIgyG

Maybe one day they’ll understand that queer character are not made for teaching kids to be queer, but to teach them that there’s nothing wrong in being who you are and loving who you want to love.#Superman
