When NFL’s Carl Nassib came out on his Instagram account, he knew it would become news — I am gay.

Robin comes out as gay!

Tim Drake comes out as gay, and it doesn't come as a surprise, Robin in the Hood — you know, like Jenny from the Bronx.

Cher, Madonna, Beyonce?

After he rescues Bernard from harm, Bernard asks Drake out for a date, and he said,

Yes!

Why is coming out still important in 2021?

Until every young person who feels the need to be in the closet is liberated, representation is important.

What better role model could these young queens look up to than Robin.

“… It always felt just out of reach. Until now. Until right now.” — Robin.

From superhero to super hoe, and between squirrel friends, I can say that.
