5 Social Justice Issues Bi-Curious Superman Would Be Better Off Pursuing Than Textbook Wokeism

Superman's transition from a patriotic paladin into a champion for left-wing causes is far more profound than his newfound queerness.

On Monday, the series publisher revealed the son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Jon, who has launched his own career as Superman, will strike up a romantic relationship with a male companion next issue in November. Rather than pair the chiseled dark-haired flying knight with a comic book version of James Bond, Jon Kent will fall in love with a pink-haired journalist named Jay Nakamura.

While the fictional hero’s novel sexuality grabbed headlines, his transformation from a patriotic paladin draped in the red, white, and blue into a champion for left-wing causes is far more noteworthy. Below is how The New York Times introduced America to the new version of its comic book icon:

Because in a world where leftist ideology has infected seemingly every institution, even our superheroes are compelled to tackle “pressing social issues.” If Superman is going to adopt a new means of fighting for “truth, justice and the American way,” however, below are some more pressing social issues than scaring the heck out of children over climate change.

1. Gay Rights In The Middle East

In May, 20-year-old Alireza Fazeli Monfared was beheaded by his family in an apparent “honor killing” for being gay. The social media influencer was just days away from escaping Iran, where homosexuality is punishable by execution, when his dream was crushed by Iranian homophobia.

Monfared’s tragedy is by no means unique for homosexuals across the Middle East, much of southeast Asia, and across the African continent. According to Human Dignity Trust, a U.K.-based global nonprofit dedicated to LGBT rights, homosexuality remains a crime in 70 countries worldwide plus Palestine. At least 11 jurisdictions consider homosexuality worthy of the death penalty.

Superman’s activism abroad could be far more effective than at home, where coming out as queer is far more a lucrative business opportunity than a courageous act of societal defiance.

2. Childhood Obesity

A new study out in late August found nearly half of the nation’s children aged 5 through 11 now qualify as either overweight or obese. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan who analyzed childrens’ body mass index (BMI) discovered those who were considered overweight or obese soared from 36 percent pre-pandemic to nearly 46 percent after months of classroom closures accelerating an already alarming trend in childhood obesity.

In December 2019, an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine projected nearly 60 percent of those aged between 2 and 19 in 2016 will be obese by the time they’re 35. That was written months before lockdowns, which have likely accelerated the authors’ prophecy.

Children who develop obesity are vulnerable in adulthood to serious chronic health problems, from anxiety and depression to heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. As a role model to children, Superman ought to partner with former First Lady Michelle Obama to combat the normalization of obesity infecting the next generation.

3. Uyghur Genocide

As of this writing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is still executing a 21st-century genocide against minority Uyghur Muslims in China’s northwestern Xinjiang province.

A U.N. human-rights panel estimated in 2018 that upwards of 1 million Uyghurs have been detained in Chinese concentration camps, with reports of prisoners forced to renounce their religion while facing indefinite internment subject to torture and sexual abuse. According to the BBC, “women have spoken of mass rape.”

4. Election Integrity

Democrat legislatures exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to rig election rules while Silicon Valley manipulated the digital public square to protect their preferred presidential candidate. Given Superman’s declared dedicated causes, it’s likely he shares political sympathies with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who spent millions to privatize U.S. voting. In the DC Comics universe, that might be the “American way.”

5. Medical Freedom

Last month, 27-year-old former nursing student Caroline Pinto was kicked out of the University of Colorado’s medical program after the school reneged on its offer to secure a religious exemption over the institution’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Pinto is by no means alone, as millions of Americans face the decision to comply with vaccine mandates or face termination at work or de-enrollment at school. In June, more than 150 employees at a Houston-based health care system were fired or resigned over their refusal to take the coronavirus treatments. Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order Monday banning vaccine mandates in the Lone Star state after the governor banned government-sponsored mandates in May.

Operations at Southwest Airlines have been thrown into turmoil over employees’ objections to the company’s policies surrounding its medical coercion.

Superman can fly. Maybe he could also help thousands of stranded travelers fly too by getting Southwest pilots back to work free to make medical decisions at their own discretion.

Meanwhile, gays under Taliban rule in Afghanistan are left fearing for their lives.

Meanwhile, in America, homos do not seem to worry at all about their souls.

A BIBLICAL Message about homosexuality

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

================================================

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

Romans 1 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
