Use Evaluate
K=(2 r/(1-r^2))^2;
y=1/(1+K (Sin[x])^2);
y=y/.{r->{0.2,0.9,0.995}};
Plot[Evaluate[y],{x,0,10 Pi}];
or
Needs["Graphics`"];
Clear[y];
y[x_,r_]:=Module[
{K=(2 r/(1-r^2))^2},
1/(1+K Sin[x]^2)];
Plot[Evaluate[
y[x,#]&/@{0.2,0.9,0.995}],
{x,0,10Pi},
ImageSize->400,
PlotStyle->(Hue/@{.6,.4,0}),
Ticks->{PiScale[0,10Pi,10],Automatic}];

the error message is given by Mathematica since y is a list and nothing is
diffrent from {y[[1]], y[[2]], y[[3]]}?
