Gail Simone's answer to the Tim/Kon relationship

dcugays:

The user verms asked Gail Simone a very interesting question:

Miss Simone I have a question. I know you're probably obligated by DC law to perpetuate the myth that Tim Drake is straight but what are your personal thoughts on the wonderful epic romance that is TimKon? Also, I think Babs (your Babs, not the current Batgirl) and Tim's relationship warrants deeper delving. See Babs is just like the coolest big sister ever and I bet she'd love to give Timmy relationship advice and be the most supportive fag hag ever. Comments?

Gail, being the lovable person she is, aswered him:

Heh. Is it okay if I just love this letter?

The truth is, I think you are seeing a vaster world than I am with those three characters at the moment and I applaud you for it. I would love to have Babs be a big sis, but the age difference is less than it used to be. As for TimKon, well, clearly, there are wonders to behold. ;)

The answer "there are wonders to behold" is a little enigmatic to me, specially because of the blinking smile.  Maybe she is referring to Wonder Girl, implying that they are both straight and they will fight over her.  Maybe she is referring to a homoerotic subtext that will never ever surface in any plot.  Maybe she is telling us DC will make Tim gay.  Maybe she is just being enigmatic and playing with words that will makes us wonder.

What I think?  DC will NEVER make a former Robin gay.  Period.  So, all that obsession crush Tim had in Geoff Johns' run is just a friendship for all that matter.

Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be that inscrutable, I didn't mean any hidden message. I don't write Tim or Kon right now, and I was simply sort of adoring the lovely nature of the OP's clear headcanon. The OP sees a world he loves that comes from comics, I love that.

But I honestly don't know Tim or Kon's exact sexuality at this point to comment on, sorry. I would love to be more encouraging but it wouldn't be based on anything other than the personal conviction that I think it'd be a lovely development.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be coy. There's way too much coyness on this topic already.  Sorry! :(
