First of all thank you for saving a click. Secondly, Marc Tyler Nobleman is not just a Batman researcher, he is a symbol. What an absolute Chad.

    Would he have said the artist had a 'straight' son? Or is it just a son in that case?

    I don't think you know what that means.

    You misunderstand.

    I'm highlighting how the son's sexual orientation would likely not be brought up if he was straight, unless it was relevant to the story at hand.

    Mentioning someone is gay just because they're gay is focusing on their sexual orientation for no good reason, just pointing out that they're 'different' and need to be acknowledge as such.
