A few hours ago it was announced that Jon Kent, son Clark Kent and Lois Lane, who has now taken on the role of Superman , has declared himself openly bisexual, in the framework of the International Day to Come Out of the Closet.

As reported by the entertainment portal, TMZ, the DC comic house announced this morning the sexual orientation of the character and offered some details about the relationship he has with a character of the same gender , which will be explored in the next issue of Superman: Son by Kal-El.

“The announcement was made this Monday by the comics giant, namely that Jon Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, who is the new Superman, is attracted to boys and girls. And not only that, but he will explore a relationship between men in the next issue, “the portal’s report reads.

The next issue of the comic is scheduled to be available starting the first week of November in the United States.

On the orientation of the superhero, the writer of Superman: Son of Kal-El , Tom Taylor told The Hollywood Reporter that he has always believed that everyone has the right to feel represented by their heroes, as is Superman or anyone from the DC universe.

” I always said that we all need heroes and we all deserve to see ourselves represented in our heroes and I am very grateful to DC and Warner Bros for sharing this idea with me,” he told the magazine.

“The Superman symbol has always represented hope, justice and truth. Today, that symbol represents something else. Today, more people can see themselves in the strongest superhero in comics, “he concluded.

For their part, hundreds of followers of the character reacted to the news and used their social networks to talk about this decision: “This is very good, exploring a bisexual Superman. Nobody should be angry with this, since the problem that many have in this type of inclusion is that they change you to a character that already existed, “said a user from his Twitter account.

Regarding the celebration of Coming Out Day, the LGBTQ + community recognizes October 11 for people in the community to openly declare their sexual orientation . In the United States, a day is organized to raise awareness about the importance of making visible, speaking out and claiming the rights of LGBTIQ + people: cultural festivals, conferences and other types of actions throughout the country.

Its origin dates back to 1988 , when, according to the Human Rights Campain, when a National March for Lesbian and Gay Rights was held for the first time in the city of Washington.

Originally, the march was managed by the West Hollywood offices, and received participation from more than 15 states that make up the United States. The event continued on an annual basis and acquired the name “National”.

Over time, the event has spread to other countries such as Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany or the United Kingdom. In Latin America, the celebrations in countries such as Argentina, Colombia and Mexico stand out.
