Iceman, Mystique, Pyro
5 - 90% Queer, 10% Str8
Rictor, Mister Sinister, Destiny, Pretty Boy
6 - Ghay
Northstar, Karma, Bling!
Magneto? Nah. 1 at most because of Charles.
But with Rogue, Briar Raleigh, Lee Forrester and all his baby mommas ain’t complaining.
Rogue should be at 1 because of Blindspot.
Jubilee should be at 1 because of Bling!
Juggernaut possibly at 1 because of Black Tom. Though I’ve seen fans suggest more at 2.

I like that you've got some not balanced in their ratings. Sunspot might have a germ of attraction to Cannonball, and while Cannonball's got all the affection for him in return, none of the attraction. (I'd put Juggernaut and Black Tom in a similar place, with Juggs being 'just friends' with Tom, and Tom's feelings maybe running a touch deeper.) Similarly Shatterstar and Rictor are in two different places, scale-wise, and that's totally appropriate.
Mystique's an odd one. IMO, she's only ever had romantic feelings for Destiny. She's slept with various men, usually for sketchy reasons, but that doesn't mean she's found a single one of them *attractive.* I don't think her sex life necessarily has anything to do with her sexuality, because, more often than not, she's there for reasons other than sexual attraction (and certainly for reasons other than love!).
I thought Sage was asexual
Longshot has probably slept with things that have genders that doesn't even exist on earth.
Why isn’t Selene seducing innocent impressionable young girls on Krakoa?
☹️
Speaking of which...........is there a sex offenders list on Krakoa?
Maybe we can have Cyclops' sexuality changed so that he can have a meaningful relationship with someone who isn't a redhead or a telepath.
Dark does not mean deep.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of changing characters' sexuality. There's times it's been handled well, and there's times it's been handled poorly, but I'm generally against the idea of a writer changing a core part of another writer's creation.
That being said, Marvel needs to confirm that Katherine Pryde is bisexual or a lesbian already. After all, Chris Claremont made it as clear as he could while working within the confines of subtext that she's attracted to females, and he's claimed that he intended for Rachel Summers/Grey to be the love of her life, so the pretext is there. All we need now is a writer and editorial team willing to make queer Kitty happen.
