>>114553264Not that anon but for me personally I don't care about the "subtext" that's supposedly been going on. What I don't like is that Jean Grey just goes "You're gay" out in public without a shit given.
I could understand if he was denying drinking the last bit of soda or hiding twenty bucks he owes somebody, but some shit is personal and you don't just blurt that crap out in the open.
Especially when you're a teenager in the 90's. Like it wasn't hardcore "homosexuality is a disease/stone them to death" back then but people were a lot more uppity about it. If she did this back in their home timeline he would at best be an outcast in the mansion among the few people who wouldn't stone him to death for being a filthy mutie, at worst be targeted not only /by/ the people who want to kill mutants but by folks who want to kill gay people.
The only way he would be /more/ screwed is if he was black.
