--

Every day of my life has been better since you've been in it. Every single day. Who you love is the last thing that could change that,

He continues to tell him that anyone who makes your life better will always be a hero in my eyes. And no matter what, I will stand beside you. I will defend you. I will love you, and I will always, always be your father.

Clark Kent then embraces his son with a kiss on the forehead and a hug.

This week s issue of Superman Son of Kal El meant everything to me. As the bisexual kid who tried to come out to her parents and didn t get the warmest reception to see THE HERO of comics give his son that love I needed, healed my queer little heart.

Glen Weldon who is writer and podcaster also spoke about the progress being made in the DC coming with bisexual Superman and a queer Robin and Aquaman are signs of progress.

Furthermore Weldon noted that:

Progress is being made here, it's just a much smaller and more incremental species of progress than DC Comics' press releases, and much more of the ensuing coverage is suggesting.
