Jon’s queerness isn’t going anywhere
I’m seeing that a surprising number of Jon fans are upset that Tomorrow Man is sticking around, apparently because of his mask/suit? Because to them it feels like DC is “covering up” their bisexual Superman?
Jon’s queer identity is not and cannot be erased by a mask, guys!
This boy has enough problems as is, can we not add unnecessary fear-mongering about his bisexuality potentially being retconned to the list? He’s obviously still being utilized in Pride art/promo for this year (though they likely kept his old suit because the art was made months in advance), there’s zero reason to assume the worst just because of a costume change.
Also, Dan Slott (current writer of Unlimited) has done nothing to feed this fear. In Unlimited, Jon’s relationship with Jay has already been mentioned several times and a civilian male has expressed an obvious romantic interest in Jon — none of this points to Dan or anyone at DC trying to sweep Jon’s queerness under the rug.
I understand being protective over one of our few prominent queer heroes, but this doomsdaying serves no one. Much better to celebrate our bisexual icon Tomorrow Man with Pride just around the corner, IMO! Bring on the Tomorrow Man Pride art!!
