DC LGBTQ+ Characters 2021 appreciation

[Will Evans]

Catwoman is another of their most well known LGBTQ+ characters whose also not promoted that way - and the writing mostly has forgotten it.

Yes. I was surprised Catwoman and the various Wonder Women characters weren’t promoted or used in DC Pride special from this past summer.

This cause me to question if editorial sees it that way.

Will Jon Kent out, I know a lot of people say Conner won’t come out then.
But I suppose that goes for Kara too. With Jon bisexual, I don’t foresee DC making Supergirl too. Though I know a lot of fans were hoping.

With Jon, I would say, DC have an easy situation bc basically he is a blank slate (in terms of sexuality at least). With Kon & Kara I don't think it's the same. Kon has often been depicted as a ladies' man (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a big Kon expert) - although, it doesn't negate bisexuality/pansexuality. What about Kara? Is there anything in the comics that could indicate that she might be queer? (An honest question, I dunno anything about her.)

Maybe not now, but a few years ago they definitely did. She had a major storyline about a romantic tryst with a lady crimeboss she kind of mentored not that long ago. Regardless of if editorial sees her that way or not, there's printed comics that show her queerness and that can't be erased. Since she's Batman's most hyped modern love interest, that does play into the portrayal of her sexuality, but homegirl is definitely bisexual.

Kon was part of a rather infamous relationship that was very hetero. Pretty sure all of his relationships were.

Kara... is... attracted to guys, mostly nerds... Pretty sure a version of PG explicitly said as much.

Fingers crossed we see Selina flirt with at least one lady in the Catwoman: Hunted animated movie. She's teaming up with Kate so there are opportunities aplenty.

for better or worse it appears that Vixen is being established as bi. I hope it's a character development that ends up being done well down the rode, I'm not digging how the reveal has been handled from what I'm hearing.

What’s wrong with having giraffe tongue powers?

I would be surprised if she didn't flirt with Batwoman.

It was a weird scene.

That's exciting. I'm glad they're doing something with the JLQ.
Bunker is a character that doesn't get used often enough for me.
