I wish I could remember who created it. Basically Emma IS her brother Christian. She spent time in a mental asylum (as Christian) and when she came out she had a sex change and became "his sister Emma". It helps add weight to Emma's personality when we first meet her (when she's very sexual, and man hating) as she transitions, to who she is now. Also adds emotional power to why she was cast out by her family. So basically the theory is Emma is a post-op transgender. There is more to it than that, but it's the rough gist.
Considering Valkyrie had a relationship with Venom, I'd say that she's more than just bisexual...
Missed this the first time round... so Danger is LGBT?
Agreed! Emma, Dazzler, Rockslide, Pixie earned their ally card years ago. It would be like having an LGBT panel show with Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli and Joan Rivers on it. They fight/fort for LGBT rights (more so than plenty of LGBT people, even). They work perfectly on an LGBT X-team.
1. The majority of the Mighty Avengers are Black. 2. The members who aren't Black include White Tiger and She-Hulk. At the moment She-Hulk is the only member of the team who is White. That's still a 6 to 2 ratio
As long as some of the members of the team are LGBT and the rest are "Allies" then the team can count as LGBT? Then by your logic Marjorie Liu's Astonishing X-men was an LGBT team since it had Karma and Northstar and people joke that Wolverine, Gambit and Iceman are all bisexual and are at least "allies" and that Warbird was a lesbian.
I might give a pass for Emma or Dazzler, and even Gambit. But Rockslide and Pixie haven't really done anything other than act like decent friends to Anole
Psylocke was actually in a relationship with Cluster. Mercury has agreed to try going out with Bling!
There's plenty of X-men characters who have larger queer fanbases. Storm, Kitty, Rachel, Magik, Dani Moonstar, I could go on.
I don't agree with you, you don't agree with me. As previously stated its fan fiction. Let it go.
And Liu's team as well as the Second Coming Hellbound team were the closest gay centric team we've had. Technically all the X-Men would be "allies" as the entire series is about acceptance. I picked characters that were being unused, underdeveloped, and personal favorites. Pixie is a pink fairy with a connection to Dazzler and Anole; their relationship is comparable to the Dazzler/Northstar relationship. Rockslide is the only solid oddball in the group and I added him for dynamic and power set. Most of the characters you've listed have a larger more fanbase in general. Based on your suggestions adjectiveless X-Men is already a queer team.
When Valkyrie slept with Flash, there was no symbiont. If you remember after the station was attacked and their room lost decompression, Flash was in real danger precisely because he was without his symbiont.
Rockslide helped Anole come out, and instantly reinforced him being gay with love and acceptance. Coming out is one of the hardest things, and Rockslide made it safe and easy for Anole. He also encourages him to date, and is always there for him. Plus... if you think Rockslide wouldn't beat down anyone who EVER through shade on Anole being gay, you have just not read enough Anole/Rockslide issues.
Notice Rockslide is thrilled, and showing his support for Anole by putting his hand on his shoulder. He's a glorious ally!!!
How did we forget Storm??? (though she's arguably bi, so not therefore an ally #oneofusoneofus)
