So we all knew this was coming and we all knew Tom Taylor is as stupid as they come but we didn't know it was going to be this stupid. I mean, I expected some explanation as to why a character who has NEVER shown any attraction to boys and has been attracted to several girls his age would all of a sudden swing that way. Nope, he just kisses the pink-haired guy and that's it, we're supposed to buy it like we don't even try to think it through. Sorry, that's not how it works, Tom. I get that he wanted to pander to his LGBT twitter crowd but we're not supposed to buy stupid shit like his. If you can justify after this that Jon is bi, you can justify Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent being bi too, it would make as much sense as it did here. Might as well go all the way if we're going to be stupid enough to pretend this is fine.
Oh, and of course Jon wears a mask, too, never mind that he's floating in the air and he's nowhere near the people on the ground, we don't need logic, just to virtue signal.
I have absolutely no doubt a lot of the people rating this over 7.5 are doing it just to show how "open-minded" they are or because they genuinely endorse changing the sexuality of characters to pander to the LGBT community. Some of them even openly acknowledge this. This isn't about comics anymore nor is it about acceptance and tolerance, it's about propaganda and "turning" people. Which is, ironically, exactly what happened to Jon in this issue. Social modelling at its best.
P.S.: Called it, the tumblr crowd is here.
P.P.S.: Btw, I just realized, Tom Taylor has zero knowledge of comics. Jon isn't the first of its kind, half-kryptonian, half-human, Conner Kent was. But who cares about comic characters when propaganda is all that matters, right? more

Faster than fate. As powerful as hope. Able to lift us all. For all his great power, Jon Kent can’t save everyone, but that won’t stop him from trying. How much can Earth’s new Superman do before this Man of Steel buckles? And when he does, who swoops in to save Superman?
