Who else was LGBT? I kind of like that this generation is more LGBT it makes sense to me.

But its only Prodigy, Mercury, Loa, being bi and Anole, Greymalking and Specter being gay?

I know I may be missing some people but thats not crazy.

While my question was only the Academy X/Young X-Men/ Bendis generation.
There are way more in the generation that came after the Academy X generation.
Mostly introduced in Age of X-Man, before Krakoa era. And then a lot more in the Krakoa era introduced as young mutants in most of the titles.

Feels like the way of the world. There are 200-300 people where I work. Of the younger generation, way more are gay or transgender than us older folk. In fact, I don't know of *anyone* over 40 at work who is either, and there are *at least* a dozen in the under 30 crowd (and, being the post office, a deeply 'old folk' heavy workplace, the majority of us are over 40!).

So it's hardly a surprise to me that a younger generation of comic characters might have a higher percentage of (openly) LBGT folk. That seems to be how it works in real life.

I know, right?! I'd even settle for Sofia+Ororo (XD)

Okay, I know this is random and not really that smart, but I saw this post:

Will Prodigy show off the non-intellectual skills he absorbed? Fighting skills, leadership, etc...

And I thought how funny it would be to have an Unlimited arc about Prodigy learning Hellion's bank account info with his powers, and just blowing all his money for a mission, or for a fun weekend in Vegas. Let David be petty.

Love is love & the more the merrier imo.

I'm honestly surprised that most mutants aren't canonically pansexual. Especially when so many don't have traditional human features anymore because of their mutations.

If they're not established as straight, how is it turning them gay?
