Superman now likes boys

After decades of impeccable heterosexual record and gay sartorial inclinations, DC Comics has anounced that Superman, his son anyway, is about to kiss a boy. The Guardian cellebrates: “The Man of Steel will be in a same-sex relationship while combatting the climate crisis and protesting against the deportation of refugees.”

Damnatio memoriae works best when one changes clothes and mores and not just sexual preference. But alas… Color is important to the American left: pink is better than blue, black is better than white, etc.

Gay Superman’s straight father is not amused. Dean Cain who played the superhero in Smallville had this to say:

““Brave would be having him fighting for the rights of gay people in Iran where they’ll throw you off a building for the offense of being gay,” Cain continued. “They’re talking about having him fight climate change and the deportation of refugees, and he’s dating a hacktivist — whatever a hactivist is. Why don’t they have him fight the injustices that created the refugees whose deportation he’s protesting? That would be brave, I’d read that. Or fighting for the rights of women to attend school and have the ability to work and live and boys not to be raped by men under the new warm and fuzzy Taliban — that would be brave. There’s real evil in this world today, real corruption and government overreach, plenty of things to fight against. Human trafficking — real and actual slavery going on. … It’d be great to tackle those issues.”"
