Well now, that news will create a hard curdling moan through the gay comic book community?

is it really that much of a stretch? Green Lantern(alternate Universe) is already working on the other team and getting married.

Aqua-man is like the tom cruise of comics, its just a matter of time, when will he come out already.

we live in interesting times.

Instead of making a new hero who is interesting that happens to be gay, Marvel craters to pressure and changes an existing one.

This shite is lame as frick.

Me too, this kinda feels like when Ricky Martin came out of the closet. I just thought it was understood and we were all gonna carry on with our lives not needing a big announcement.

Usually I would agree

But you guys realize that Xmen are just a huge and obvious euphemism for gay rights and other minority groups right?

This isn't exactly far fetched they just made their political points even more obvious

This SJW shite really is ruining everything. Now comics are really trying to be inclusive? How about, I don't give a shite if Iceman sucks dick, I want to see fight scenes where dudes shite lasers, fly, have super human strength, etc., not some preachy bullshite about Iceman's coming to grips with his corn holin'.

Iceman would not be the first gay X-man.

Northstar has been gay since 1992. He even got married recently:

So, Iceman is questioning his coolness and thinks he should be Fireman?

Having a gay superhero is so last year.

They needed a transitioning man to a woman. That will be fun.

This is marketing by marvel. my SIL works for marvel, well disney but marvel brand. They have the 10-16 year old male market sewn up and are trying to broaden their base to include females which care way more about shite than boys do.

the boys probably skip the love parts anyway.

you act like that stuff will suddenly be taken away or that comics haven't always had dramatic story lines running alongside the action.

yeah, I'm aware, but Northstar has never been important. IceMan isn't much better, but his status as an First Class member is what makes this significant.

Bobby Drake has hooked up a good bit in the comics, so to write him as always being gay (and deeply closeted) is insulting to the character. He's a superhero, courage is implied. Especially in a group discriminated against in the Marvel Universe, being gay isn't as bad as being a mutant....also isn't it weird that they didn't write him as bisexual, like Marvel's Hercules, Wolverine's son Daken, Mystique or even Gambit....?

Nothing wrong with that, just using creative license.
