I thought his only “son” was his clone.

And if it’s a clone, that means Superman is also bi.

There was this bs controversy about someone in a comic book not being straight:

The new Superman comes out as bisexual in an upcoming comic

This version of Superman is Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Like his father, he falls for a journalist – this time, a male reporter named Jay Nakamura.

…because of comic book logic on cloning? Or is there some genetic factor underlying a person’s sexuality? I’m guessing the former, but if the latter is true, it’s the first I’ve heard of it, so I’m curious!

If it's not genetic, is that not implying it's a "choice"?

I always figured it was biologically driven without much in the way of genetic components; mostly because it seems like homosexuality would be pretty tricky to pass on if it was just linked to a few genes. I’m curious about the mechanism in general, and from your phrasing, thought you might know something I hadn’t picked up yet.

And just to be very clear, homosexuality is clearly NOT a choice!
