The tweet’s author appears to mean Lois Lane but in a typo gift to critics wrote “Louis.” The Superman who is coming out as queer is Jon Kent, the son of Kal-El/Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane. He is bisexual, not gay. It isn’t a “Hollywood” decision. It’s DC Comics. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/11/1044002955/superman-son-comes-out-queer-dc-comics https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Jonathan_Samuel_Kent_(Prime_Earth)
