What are your thoughts on x-men’s recent foray into gender politics? Do you believe it’s uncharacteristic of the comic or was it a natural progression? - eviltoast

For example, Mystique being transgender and Morph being non-binary.

    I don’t see that as anti-gay. I fully support gay marriage but to me that’s a yawn

        If we use that logic, Bill Clinton and Obama were anti-gay as well. Bernie Sanders, as well.

          You’re equating a position the GOP presently, publicly stands by to the past positions of individuals who have since changed their minds, and are misquoted.

          Stop with the unicorns and magic.

            I’m not. I don’t think being pro-traditional marriage is anti-gay. Anti-sodomy laws are anti-gay but I don’t feel the same way about marriage.

              being pro-traditional marriage is anti-gay.

              Being “pro traditional marriage” necessarily discriminates against gay couples.

                Not sure you get discrimination. It just means to choose. So yes, it is discriminatory but that doesn’t make something illegal or wrong. I suppose you’re not old enough to remember the old coffee commercial about discriminating taste. As I said I support it but there is a weird religious sect of the Republican Party that I wish we could remove.

                Who you marry is really none of my business.

                  You just can’t help but immediately move to the next goal post can you?

                    No I clearly stating I don’t agree with your opinion. People don’t always agree. I think your stance is wrong. Though I’m impressed you actually tried to cite something relevant for once. I just don’t think it’s the smoking gun you think it is.

        I think you are confused. My trans friend is married and could have been married before SOTUS approved it.

        Also, my friend isn’t into gay rights. While you think LBGTQ+ is a monolithic group, it isn’t. She isn’t anti-gay rights, but gay rights don’t concern her. She is VERY into trans rights.
