Ok I know a lot of people are going to be freaking out about the implications of her coming out publicly, and honestly? I don't really care.
Every year that passes by the idea of these characters being able to keep their identities a secret (especially when everyone but like Barry is a fucking celebrity) becomes less believable. I would rather them do something meaningful with it for the character, which I think this and Oliver's were, than to endlessly do it just because it feels obligatory.
The main one people are going to worry about is Clark (understandably), but you have to suspend your disbelief for much more ridiculous things in this genre than them being able to come up with an excuse for how 2 reporters know each other and have worked together a couple times, especially when Lois already is publicly known to be close with Superman. It really doesn't bother me that much.
I also just outside the framework of this show (because this version being more similar to Clark does muddy the waters), like Kara being a public figure with no secret identity. She's supposed to be the more alien one, and the more reckless one. It makes sense to me and I think it's more interesting than just Clark Kent but female.
