    Question What was your "TOP 3" LGBT highlight of 2015 at Marvel?

    Inspired by last year's discussion in the LGBT Marvel Appreciation thread; I wanted to see what everyone thought was the best LGBT moments of 2015. Obviously it's been a big year for LGBT characters, thanks to Iceman, Angela, Sera and the Jessica Jones TV series. So we should have a thread to see what everyone felt was THE defining LGBT moment of 2015. My money is on Iceman for the win!

    Below is our discussion from 2014. Enjoy!!!

Hulkling, Prodigy and Noh-Varr got a fun Original Sin tie-in story. Northstar was in Amazing X-Men, and got a fairly prominent role in the Wendigo arc. There was the gay couple who supported Kate Bishop, and were great. Daken kissed a dude, and Mystique's love for Destiny was touched on. Storm kissed a girl while evil, and as a show of dominance, and blamed it on Quire, and I don't give a shit what some people think, that was by no stretch of the imagination in any way a positive moment. Loki being genderfluid was handled fairly well.

    Beyond that stuff, I'm drawing a blank on LGBT content from this year.

    - Northstar in Amazing X-men (both Aaron and Kyle&Yost); heroic, fun, egotistical, as he blood should be!
    - Anole's one-shot in Amazing X-men

    *The use of gay characters and couples as background characters in titles like Hawkeye, DC's Batgirl, and I'm sure there are plenty others
