Jon comes out after being attacked by an unknown threat while searching for civilians which left him unconscious, he is taken to the Justice League Infirmary where he tells his father that he was afraid to come out because he was afraid to disappoint him.
He tells his father that I know that you I mean there are videos of me and Jay everywhere, it's hardly a secret,

--
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. Thanks @TomTaylorMade pic.twitter.com/ImkDhstFsv

SUPERMAN'S LGBTQ ROMANCE Months leading up to coming out to his father, the romance between Jon Kent and Jay Nakamura has left fans captivated, this romance has been a very big leap for LGBTQ community and also for comic book nerds around the world.
Tom Taylor who is DC comic book writer said:
I've always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I'm very grateful DC and Warner Bros share this idea,
DC Comics has been making progressive story storylines for sometime now, they have introduced 3 major queer storylines.
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.
