Green Arrow’s son Connor Hawke is set to come out as asexual in the upcoming DC Pride 2022 series. Over the last couple of years, DC Comics has introduced a plethora of superheroes that identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
From Jon Kent’s Superman to Tim Drake’s Robin, long-standing characters have come out as queer and proud. For Pride Month, DC is set to release a new edition of their popular anthology series, DC Pride, which will feature some of the universe’s most prominent queer heroes.
But what makes this launch particularly exciting is the inclusion of DC’s newly-out asexual hero Connor Hawke. According to a report from Them, Green Arrow’s son is set to officially come out in the eight-page story titled Think of Me.
The story is set to follow Connor as he fights against Music Meister and his “mind control scheme” at an opera performance. Alongside his fight with the villain, the hero mentally drafts up a coming-out letter to his mother.
