I love you. Brb making “you can’t spell GAMBIT without BI shirts”.
I agree about Rogue in current books (unfortunately), but she definitely had heavy sapphic vibes up until the late aughts… not only under Claremont (which, I know, kind of a gimme for any female character), and not just queer-baiting “oooooh girl/girl kisses” they love to give her when she’s borrowing powers, but her vibes with Dazzler and even Betsy in the ‘80s sold it for me. (People always forget Rogue started as a Dazzler stan before becoming her villain for a minute - and she comes off as
very jealous of Warren when he’s dating Alison. Even the Longshot flirtation reads much more as trying to get Ali’s attention.)
And there’s also her solo arc, where Blindspot (who I’d
love to see come back) is very difficult to not read as her ex-girlfriend:
Just to be clear: the woman
sleeps with Rogue’s old uniform lmao.
(Blindspot and Gambit have something in common, at least: Mystique and Destiny didn’t want her near Rogue, either.)
