Another day, another conservative meltdown.

What's got Republicans freaking out this time, you ask? No, not the pandemic, or the economy, or climate change, or any of the myriad real problems facing America.

Rather, Republicans are losing their minds over DC Comics' recent announcement its iconic Superman character, a fictional superhero who does not actually exist, is bisexual.

Like clockwork, conservatives have been out here in full gay panic mode being as homophobic as humanly possible about this whole thing.

Take far-right Republican Arizona State Representative Wendy Rogers, for example, who not only had a full meltdown on Twitter but employed the stereotypical "gay lisp" popular among frat boys in 1992.


Rogers tweeted:

"Superman loves Louis Lane. Period. Hollywood is trying to make Superman gay and he is not. Just rename the new version Thooperman so we can all know the difference and avoid seeing it."

True to Republican form, Rogers clearly didn't read DC Comics' announcement or she'd know the current Superman is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Laneā€”which she also misspelled as "Louis."

So you heard it here firstā€”Clark Kent was also apparently bisexual. Excellent work as always, Ms. Rogers.

The furor erupted Monday, which was National Coming Out Day, when DC Comics made its announcement current Superman Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois (NOT Louis) Lane, has fallen in love with a man named Jay Nakamura.


DC told The New York Times ushering in a new Superman felt like an opportunity to make an important update to the iconic superhero.

"The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity. For so many people, having the strongest superhero in comics come out is incredibly powerful."
Republicans, of course, disagree, and conservatives all over the country were soon decrying this turn of events.
Republican Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel lamented bisexual Superman is "trying to destroy America," while Arizona House candidate Josh Barnett wondered why "Hollywood [has] to ruin everything."
Then there was this charming clip from Fox News host Laura Ingraham's show, where co-host Raymond Arroyo lamented Superman's supposed bisexuality-fueled propensity for "venereal disease."


Just for the record, straight people regularly contract sexually transmitted infections (or "venereal disease" as they were called 50 years ago) too.

In fact, the highest rates of STIs in the United States are in Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and New Mexicoā€”not exactly LGBTQ meccas.

But among all these outcries, nobody made quite as big an impression as Rogers, who later tweeted again to implore people to "Say no to Woke Thooperman!"

And folks on Twitter dragged her to filth for her homophobic nonsense.








DC Comics' new Republican America-destroying Superman comes out November 9.

Dem Senator Drops F-Bomb In Fiery Video After Trump Calls For Congressional Democrats To Be Hanged

Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said "maybe it's time to pick a f**king side" in response to President Donald Trump's call for a group of congressional Democrats who are military veterans to be executed after they reminded U.S. troops that they must disobey unlawful orders.

Senators Elissa Slotkin (Michigan) and Mark Kelly (Arizona) joined Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania), Maggie Goodlander (New Hampshire), and Jason Crow (Colorado), all of whom are veterans. In a video message, they noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."

Here's the truth about content bans: when a group moves to ban a book or movie, their claims often make it obvious that they didn't read the book or watch the movie all the way through.

Sure, they read the title, they looked at the cover or poster, and then they let their preconceived notions take over, deciding that this was something that deserved to be banned.
