Dean Cain: Superman Coming Out as Bisexual ‘Isn’t Brave

Well technically, Superman is an alien  from the planet Krypton, so surely this argument should be more about interspecies relations right?

 

Technically, I suppose. His kid is half human (I assume) so he's bi but only half alien, so only half as interspecies? Dunno. Nobody b****es about alien man with human woman, but bring in gay and certain peoples underwear gets in a knot.

But, since the kid exists in the first place, the interspecies bit doesn't really fly as the DNA is obviously compatible (unless there was some comic weirdness involved in his conception I don't know about).

Thread cleaned. Folks, enough with the bigoted commentary and personal attacks please.

Yeah, that’s sort of the point of the article. Homosexuals have equality are not oppressed. They are in every show, “pride” flags adorn all the major product labels, the MSM and Government agencies celebrates pride. Kids in 1st grade are taught about homosexuals. Homosexuality is a selling point, a point of political virtue. Homosexuality enjoys the full support of the cultural establishment.  
 

There have already been numerous gay superhero’s but this is supposed to be “brave”? 

Well the character is bi, not gay so apparently there's still some work to be done around educating people.

You, specifically.

I really think we as a society have become so fixated on sex.  Children shouldn't have to worry about choosing genders, they should just be kids.   If a boy wants to dress in a pink princess dress whole playing with trucks, who cares?  Let them have freedom to be who they are.  I accept people as they are.  If a female looking person walks up and wants to he known as he, I will ensure i use their name in stead of he/she/they so that I don't forget.  You are Pan/Bi/straight/Gay...I don't care.  It will not change how I see you and interact with you.  We should all just be able to be ourselves without labeling

FWIW I seem to recall the only “weirdness” involved in his birth is Clark and Lois going off world to a world with a red sun so Clark loses all his Superman-ness. It’s also why it took Jon so long to evidence powers (he was nearly ten before he started flying etc).

Gays have had their right to marry guaranteed in the US for less than a decade.  But maybe as soon as that decision was handed down that instantly ended all oppression of them or something in your eyes... 

No, absolutely not. They are still persecuted and killed in several Islamic theocracies. Not that you would care, being you are to busy crying about the US only having same sex marriage for less than a decade (oh the humanity). 
 

Why is it that the left believes that America is this repressive place where homosexuals are oppressed? But they could careless about actual persecution and oppression homosexuals face? How pompous do liberals have to be to obsess over the decorations on a cake while homosexuals are being thrown off buildings? Is that when liberals are finally tolerant? When it comes to brown skinned religious zealots who murder homosexuals? In comparison, in the oppressive-US barely criticizing homosexual culture permeating everything gets you lectured about being intolerant.

Maybe he’s following Jesus’ advice about getting his own house in order, and addressing the log in his eye?

I particularly like the part where he called any relationship betwixt Jesus and Mary Magdalene as baseless and fictional, and then goes on to say Jesus was totes gay.

Oh, he’s “bi”? oh, crap never mind then. That changes everything, 

You get a trophy for the gratuitous display of wokeness. 

Go forth and make it your mission to educate the unwashed heathens about the sexuality of comic book characters.

I think you missed the point, same sex marriage in the US is just an example.  But maybe I misread you, to me your statement 'Homosexuals have equality not oppressed' is contradicted by 'they are still persecuted and killed in some countries'.  If you are just referring to the US, just because gays get thrown off buildings in some place doesn't mean that denying them marriage and employment rights isn't 'oppression'.  I'm glad you seem to agree that just because they finally have equality under the law it does not mean that they are no longer oppressed automatically.

Almost everyone, liberals included I'm pretty sure, are capable of doing multiple things at the same time.

So you have a problem with Bisexuals?  Last time I checked it was part of the alternate sexual acronym too.

that is the issue,  boys normally do not wear dresses when playing with trucks, unless adults tell them it is a cool thing to do, and they should try it, i never had that urge as a kid, to wear a dress, nor any boy i used to hang out with. At the age of 5-10 y.o.  you can tell kids anything, and they usually believe it.  hell they can be told to  eat tide pods and they wont question. and that is exactly what liberals are doing in schools, brainwashing boys it is ok to wear a dress, go into girls bathrooms,.......

Well duh. 

It is not the same as gay though. @el midgetron's ignorance shows the necessity of having bi characters in the public eye.

The very fact that you needed that explaining and put it in quotes shows exactly why there is a need for more awareness of bisexuality. 

Something fictional characters can achieve.

For "gratuitous display of wokeness" read "correcting an ignorant bigot who's unwilling to learn".

It seemed like you were minimizing Bi, like this isn't really some kind of leap taken because he's not really gay.

You need to work on your comprehension then. There is nothing in my post to suggest what you took from it.

  Yeah, I’m an ignorant bigot. At least according to you. And my sin against the theocratic LGBT authority? I said Superman was gay, not bi. Well, at least I would be accurate 50% of the time….. 

Quite the drama queen over a mistake,

So the headlines were incorect. We got used to Supersenior. Superjunior is a new character and he can be whatever he wants or feels to be. No problem there with his sexuality in my opinion.

What headlines? The title of this thread and the headline of the article in the OP are correct, 

The original Superman has apparently passed the torch to his son. At least that’s what I understand. Therefore his son is the new Superman. His son is Superman,
