WANDAVISN: LGBTQ+ EASTER EGG HTS AT BILLY BEG GAY

Iceman (Gay).

‘WANDAVISN’ FALLY GAVE THE GAYS THE CONTENT WE CRAVE

While most Marvel hero are secure their own inti, took Bobby Drake, aka Iceman, a long time to e to his own as a gay man. K (Gay).

While his brother Wicn is one of the most well-known gay characters Marvel, Speed himself is also a member of the LGBTQ+ muny.

This article ntas spoilers for the latt episo of Disney+ third episo of the smash h Disney+ show WandaVisn buted today and troduced Wanda and Visn's tw sons, Billy and Tommy at the end of the of the ics know that one of the tws, Billy, grows up to be Wicn, a gay teen superhero wh realy alterg powers siar to his mom.

THK YOU ARE GAY? IT SHOWS YOUR EY, ACRDG TO STUDY

It's gog to be a very gay the MCU. RELATED: Marvel Reveals Hband First Gay Superhero Couple. Introduced 1979, Northstar is arguably the first gay Marvel character as well.

Unfortunately, there was some ntroversy when the leadg gay character nearly died om AIDS. One of the more surprisg characters to e out as gay would fely be Iceman.

IS BILLY GAY IN THE MCU? team would be keen to mata Billy's gay roots wh the MCU. You uld tweet a screenshot of Capta Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame haircut wh the ptn “gay rights” and probably amass a cent number of RTs.

WHAT COM AFTER THE EX-GAY MOVEMENT? THE SAME THG THAT CAME BEFORE.

And then there is Thor: Ragnarok, which is credibly gay bee of subtextual pansexual Valkyrie and the prence of Cate Blanchett a Drag Race fale look (she do not re that Michelle hat green)—but TBH Thor: Ragnarok’s vibe may jt be credibly New Zealand-y? Seems like they’re havg a gay old time down there, every sense of the word. Wh ’s wchy vib, mpy jok, bright lors, and the prence of Kathryn Hahn, WandaVisn felt like the big g out party that a lot of queer Marvel fans have been wag for… even if the only nonil b of gay reprentatn was Billy Maximoff, a 10-year-old who… is… Y’know what?

The pot is, WandaVisn’s only actual gay reprentatn was, sentially, a magic baby. That ntent, pecially when filtered through retro ss that were sometim themselv queer-d, is guh guh guh GAY.

To me, jt pulled WandaVisn fully to the gay ay. WandaVisn got me all up my gay feelgs, for sure, but that is nothg pared to seeg actual gay superhero on the big screen. Thgs are changg; Eternals will have a gay character s ensemble (Phastos, played by Brian Tyree Henry), Taika Wai has said Valkyrie will be unmistakably queer Thor: Love and Thunr, and one of the most proment queer characters the ics—Ameri Chavez—will but Doctor Strange the Multiverse of Madns.

WORLD VISN: WHY WE’RE HIRG GAY CHRISTIANS SAME-SEX MARRIAG
