So apparently Bobby Drake / Iceman is gay.
But...this is a younger version of Bobby from the past? But...it’s still the same Bobby? I’m not reading this run of X-Men so I’m a little confused (though I really should, since it’s Brian Michael Bendis and everything).
I wish it wasn't presented in another “closeted&ashamed” narrative, though. Especially in X-Men of all places. The entire thing is a giant metaphor for gayness. If all these x-men can live out and proud as mutants, but the second one of them has a tinge of “the gay” they feel the need to hide it, that says a lot about how the writers of these comics feel about queer issues.
Basically...more Young Avengers plz...
