The queer archive: Gay subtext in x-men comics

[starduck]

Yeah, Jeen's outing of Bobby has largely been acknowledged (even in-universe, by Adult Bobby) as poorly handled and intrusive in spite of her good intentions. She needs to get her Gay Icon Game going again, though.

I actually think all adult X-Women are gay icons by default, lol

But without it Iceman would have never come out and now thanks to her he is out, proud and ready to achieve his omega-level gay potential

Dark Phoenix is a drag queen.

Omega gay potential, I love it, lol. Iceman may be better off for it, but it really wasn't Jean's call either way. I would actually love to have the adult versions to talk about it, sometime soon.

Bisexual Psylocke

Psylocke literally had sex with her boyfriend in a female body, because Humphries is a terrible writer.
He also tried to retcon her getting her powers as a teenager.

Name another woman or pan-sexual character she's been with since?

Yaasss

Also, Jean Grey is X-MAGA, and NOT a gay icon. She’s comfortable white nostalgia in flesh.

Lemme get all my buried scans of Jubilee and the Academy X kiddos. Undeniable proof they all gay.

I'm a Jean fan but I don't think there's any reason to call her a gay icon, unless it's on the mindset of "All/most X-Women are gay icons because they're amazing and fabulous", like with irl Pop divas lol.

Psylocke had explicitly sexual intercourse with a woman and she still is not considered bi-sexual? bi-courious then?

Quentin, thank you so much for creating this thread.

All X-Women are gay icons because they're amazing and fabulous

Exactly.

[Quentin]

Exactly.

And how this thread shows so far, most of them are actually also all part of the LGBTQ+ community themselves. Except Jean Grey.

Lol stop reading her like that.

[Strong Girl Daken]

Jean's at least part of the kink community.

Polaris doesn't have much gay subtext either
