yes but it's not just a metaphor it's a fantasy

[ozaline]

There may be no good reason to hate and fear queer people, or other minorities but hated and feared they sometimes are. X-men is about confronting that fear... yes, but it's also about having a fantasy where that fear is taken away cause you have the power rather than your aggressors.

It'd be boring and depressing without the optic blasts, and magnetic powers.

There's an issue of X-men where a graveyard I refusing to bury Jubilee's friend Angelo because being a mutant is against their religion.. you can't tell me that's not about queer issues.


If you get into the real world applications of being a mutant, than you're missing the fantasy aspect of being a mutant.

I can and I will. LOTS of people have been denied burial in holy ground - including suicides, the mentally ill, adulterers, strangers, victims of murder. NONE of that had to do with sexual orientation.

And nope, I'm not missing the fantasy aspect of being a mutant. I see it. And I loathe it.

...and this somehow makes the other things not real?

My point was, there were/have been/are LOTS of reasons people have been denied burial in various holy grounds. Saying that "NOT BEING ALLOWED BURIAL IS CLEARLY A GAY METAPHOR" is incorrect. It's not. It's just as easily MANY other things.

...not that I'm particularly comfortable with any of those other groups being portrayed as mutants either.

Yes, mutants are a metaphor for many groups, not just gays.
