You guys are taking the Iceman thing totally the wrong way. Clearly it's saying that being gay is a choice and not just how you are born. Old Bobby = Straight. Young raised different Bobby = Gay. It's not SJW shit, it's straight up conservative Christian thinking. BMB = Rush Limbaugh.

As a gay man who has collected comic books since 1977 and who was actually a huge fan of Bobby Drake/Iceman, this is such incredible pandering and so fucking poorly written.

Honestly this is what I took from that panel. That being gay is a choice. Terrible.

That's dumb. Iceman bangs Mystique later in life.
He was so much younger than the rest of the team there wasn't any point to give him a steady squeeze. I think he had a thing for Lorna / Polaris. Had some good in frame chemistry with a lot of women that he never hooked up with.

Fucking with his younger self identity is completely stupid. Next they'll make older Bobby a hate monger who beats himself near to death?

Its simple. Jean Grey can't fathom why there is a human on the planet that doesn't want to have sex with her. All other men and women do. This is also why she thinks everyone is bi. So, she just assumes he's gay, and brainwashed him to think it too.

Jean Grey is the worst. only slightly moreso then her daughter Hope, who does the same thing.

How do you recover from being Asian?

Even Agent Smith can't do it.

Did Northstar have to be argued into liking the cock back in the 90's? I remember all of the attention it got but none of the details.

He was a French Canadian named Jean-Paul that wore matching outfits with his sister. We all knew he was gay from the get-go.

He was conceived as gay from the start, but you know, good ol comics code prevented them from stating it outright.

Comics industry seem to like to turn an old character gay every few years, last time it was old school green lantern, you know the one who had a weakness towards wood(trees).

Actually i think Northstar liked Bobby back then, he's got good gaydar.

Don't forget Ultimate Northstar turned Colossus gay.

That's the thing... When you change a character for a publicity stunt, no one is going to be happy. It alienates the purists AND it alienates the people you are pandering to. No person in the lgbt community is reading that comic and cheering.

When northstar was created, being gay was just part of his character. It wasn't done to prove a point. He was a character who happened to be gay, which no one really cared about. Instead of bobby , colossus. Or green lantern being gay in order to spark controversy

Later on Northstar was one of my favorite "professor" xmen. He'd even have a few scenes of being a complete badass on occasion while still having a limp wrist joke.
