DC Comics is pushing gay pride on children with a new installment in “Midnighter and Apollo,” the same-sex superhero couple who fight crime by day and get it on in the sack at night.
The new story is part of DC Pride 2023, the publisher’s latest gay superhero anthology that features numerous gay and transgender storylines, including a lesbian relationship between Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn.
DC Comics tweeted a quote from the new “Midnighter and Apollo” installment, which is at least partially pitched toward children: “Let the whole world know — the bigots, the cowards, and the kids who need it … Show them that our love is real. Show them that it’s powerful.”
"Let the the whole world know — the bigots, the cowards, and the kids who need it… Show them that our love is real. Show them that it's powerful. We'll never back down, and we're not afraid of fighting back."

Past installments in “Midnighter and Apollo” have featured sex scenes between the two male characters.
There are some more explicit scenes in botj but never life they did for the straight characters tho. The most explicit scenes are in "Midnighter" vol 2, and "Midnighter and Apollo", like those :3 pic.twitter.com/D9TeeM0TqA

Find someone who talks about you the way Ivy talks about Harley.

As Breitbart News reported, DC Comics announced last year the end of its woke “Superman: Son of Kal-El” series, which featured a bisexual Superman, following disappointing sales.
