I agree with the comment about the X-men's origination. I have a huge leather-bound anthology of the entire Marvel Universe (as I am sure a TON of people on these posts have), and it makes specific mention of the fact that the X-men were conceptually born as a response to a time in American history where there were several majority/minorty, supression/opression conflicts. I believe the book mentions McCarthyism, civil rights, womens' rights, and later, the advent of "gay" culture (I think it makes specific mention of the first gay mutant). I might be melding two different passages together, but you get the idea.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the X-men are unique within the Marvel universe and comics in general for staying on the forefront of minority representation. Storm was the first dominant African American woman pretty much anywhere in contemporary comics.

More than anything the X-men create a culture of bonded identity. Why do gay people gather together in specific places and at specific times? Because together we are stonger than we are apart. Together we can feel accepted and know that we are not alone. And like alternative sexuality's many faces (bisexual, gay, transexual, cross-dressers, etc), the X-men are united by a common difference, yet individually unique in their expression of it.

Growing up as a gay child isn't easy. And, many years before I could ever tell myself I was gay, I could lose myself in an X-men comic book, admiring the strength and valour and...worth...of these people who were different yet still virtuous. I could read them and feel like I wasn't alone.

Wow, there's quite a little gay community here, I see. Well, I might as well join in myself.

 

[Kritish]

What, no mention of Logan/Scott pairing? Those two have more chemistry than most of the actual X-couples.

Oh, and Logan has had affairs with those who live life to the fullest, but his true loves have always been the less exciting women, like Rose, Jean and Mariko.

WTF !?

Whoever made wolvi gay shall suffer the fate of giving Rosie O'Donnell a rectal exam !

 

[newwaveboy87]

...i can't do it....

 

[pyromaniac]

Wolverine gay... Mmm - good enough for me!

*goes into fantasy territory*

 

[newwaveboy87]

i want Angel or Iceman to be gay...

 

[littyx]

OK, alot of comments have been made about Wolverine beeing gay or bi, well this should be obvious. I mean he firt appeared in 1974. Look at gay sheek in the 1970's. Look at the Village People. they were a bunch of hary macho men in colorful outfits. Wolverine is a hary macho man in yellow spandex for cryn out loud. Hes not just gay, hes a '70s gay icon. hes a walking gay pride parade. his look couldnt be more flaming if Jhonny Sorm set him on fire. And my wife (yes im streight, get over it) says theres no way a streight man has that much sex appeal (unless youre James Marsters, hell im a streight man and I'd do HIM, lol). Bottom line, if WOlverine isnt an openly gay charecter, he definitly has an abundence of gay overtones. Hes the He-Man of the X-Men. Nuff Said.

[Autobot_prime]

Hey i just got an idea, If styles DO change with the times than its time Wolverine got a Queer Eye makeover. Hell, I need a Queer Eye makeover. LMAO

Well since this is kind of the Official Homosexuals thread. Did anyone get to see Brokeback Mountain? I saw it last night. After seeing it, I dont ever think I'll be the same. It was beautiful. I'm glad to see its getting recognized as well. 7 golden Glode nominations!
