Made this so that the black male X-men thread wouldn’t go off topic, as there were some there who didn’t know Tempo was queer.
So I created this thread to discuss them and keep it on topic.
From various queer mutants like Northstar, Iceman, Karma, Bling!, Shatterstar, Rictor, Mystique, Destiny, Prodigy to new queer status mutants like Mercury, Loa and Kate Pryde.
Also to discuss those you believe could come out as queer. Such as possibly Storm (because of Yukio) or Rachel Summers, etc.

Still wondering if Kitty kissing a girl will ever get brought up again
Anyway the X-Men have some really nice LGBT+ characters!
My favorite are probably Rictor (when written well...), Karma, Prodigy, Shatterstar and Anole.
But I pretty much like most of the confirmed lgbt+ characters.

We really need to revisit that Kitty thing. Pronto. On a COMPLETELY unrelated topic to Kitty's interest here's something about Rachel I saw on twitter that I didn't remember. People not sure how to gender her at a club:

They should. The X-Men department knows that wasn’t subtle to the fans and otherwise would be queerbaiting.

But hey, her whole resurrection issue seemed basically like a coming out party. From her interactions to Storm, Emma, Rachel and Illyana. The only thing missing was “I love you” from Karma.

Kitty seems so forced as LGBT. Reminds me of college girls who when drunk would make out with other hot girls only to impress frat boys.
It always seemed like a case of gay people choosing to lust over straight people instead of appreciating actual queer people.
I knew that kiss was queerbatiing but posters acted like it was revolutionary.
Then it was never mentioned again, lol.

Not really. Heck her whole runaway bride ordeal from both Star-Lord and then Colossus, and her reasons for them, look so much like a closeted case. Originally Posted by RamaBird

It's a miles may vary thing, but Kitty's Queerness has been speculated for years. I don't think we can declare the kiss as queerbaiting just yet. She is part of a large cast book and we are in the middle of a crossover event (which happened after another crossover event). And in comic time not much has passed. Originally Posted by RamaBird

I think a queerbaiting moment would be more like Pixie guest starting in Runaways a couple of issues ago.
Pixie and Nico really had a moment, and it looked like they were going to go for it.

Do you have any empirical evidence to support this? Title and issue(s) please... Originally Posted by Will Evans

No idea if her relationship with Bling! will be brought up and how her date with Loa is going to go in tomorrow's issue of Way of X, but if Mercury doesn't get to smooch a girl during pride month I'll be sad.

I didn't see it like this at the time but it does make sense. Originally Posted by Will Evans

When it comes to teen characters I give them more of a pass on this front. Teenagers today don't always grow up under the same stigma when it comes to exploring their sexuality or gender or attractions, so I see this less as queerbaiting and more just hormones. Originally Posted by Will Evans

What reasons though? I didn't read GOTG, so don't know about that. But there were no reasons for Colossus. There was no reason for them to be together either. That was crappy writing from Guggenheim who wrote Colossus as an Incel stalker. What woman would want to marry that loser version of Colossus? A woman not wanting to marry a man, that doesn't make her queer. Originally Posted by Will Evans

Most of these writers can't even writer a female of color, some can't even write a white female not named Magik/Emma, but you think they're gonna develop a queer character? Come on. It's queerbating.
