Please share this with the many others who agree with us and share this all over social media so people all over the world can sign this petition! I believe and know we can get 5 million signatures and get DC to change Tim and Bernard back to being straight! It’s not too late!

I am really mad that DC made Stephanie and Tim break up in Batman Urban Legends #6 after they finally got back together! DC just made them break up so Tim and Bernard could date! I love Tim and Stephanie together and DC making Tim break up with Stephanie for no reason is unacceptable!

I don’t mind if Tim and Stephanie do break up, but DC needs to give us a reason why they broke up! DC just wants to try and make Tim and Bernard bi or gay and appeal to the LGBTQ community and I am so mad they did this and ruined Tim’s and Bernard’s character and their history!

Tim and Bernard are better and great as being just friends! It would have better a story line and better for both of their character developments if they decided to get to know each other better and became close friends! This is all why I started this petition! So we can all show DC we don’t want Tim and Bernard to change and that we want a reason as to why Tim and Stephanie broke up!

If DC wants to have LGBTQ characters they need to create new characters! Changing characters and well established characters that have been around for years is lazy, makes a bad story, and upsets a majority of the fans! Doing this only ruins the characters and the well established characters fans have loved for years and still love today! I BELIEVE WE ALL CAN GET DC TO CHANGE TIM AND BERNARD BACK TO BEING JUST FRIENDS AND STRAIGHT!

I've been a comic fan for years and have always loved seeing Tim Drake & Stephanie Brown together their relationship has always felt the most real and relatable. There is nothing in Tim Drake's 30+ year history that supports the idea of him being bisexual and changing that just for more sales is disgusting and insulting to the LGPTQ+ community!!!

In a hyper sexualized world, adults and children alike need characters whose relationships are not sexualized. People need examples of good healthy friendships with no anterior motive or expectation to spend time together. Friendships are a commitment people make that have their own fun yet deep nuances. Please write your characters with the dignity they deserve.

As a gay man, this is a slap in the face to us yet again. Why can’t you come up with new original characters who can actually make an impact on the LGBTQ community? You keep rewatching these characters and can’t come up with a new one who is out of the closet? Look at north star? He was an inspiring comic book character for me when I was confused, and gave me the inspiration to come out cause he was original and not rewatched like ice man and Tim Wayne.

Turning an established character but is just another in the long line of screwing established characters for a gimmick to sell more books and appeal to the crowd who would never buy the books anyways and it is quite creatively bankrupt.

This never made sense for the character to have made him bi. Tired of this nonsense.
