This is what happens when you just leave a dozen+ plotthreads hanging and keep moving on to different things. You get cancelled and have to pick a couple to actually finish. So that's the real reason why Shatterstar of all people was the solution to this problem. They had to tie up that dangling thread to explain why he's even around Krakoa later. Instead of handling that plot when it actually happened. What a mess. Sad to see the only really gay thing at the X office end, but this was handled so badly in the first few issues.
