I love X-Men comics as a queer person. I feel like their one of the few comic teams that cared about its characters being queer and not just as an afterthought.

I haven't kept up with the comics as much these days, but I've seen that they're doing a lot more LGBT stuff lately. Looks like some of them are pretty good stories too, maybe I'll pick it back up!

I got back into comics when Hickman "soft-booted" the X-Men with Krakoa. Now they are on the "Fall of X" storyline, post Krakoa. It is indeed a exciting and great time. I'm enjoying it.

There are a lot of LGBT characters and I feel they are treating them like real people or real mutants anyway instead of just it as an after thought. Most teams or books have at least one LGBT identifying individual on it, but most are in relationships, so they dive into that. I am a straight white man though so I probably have blind spots somewhere.

Kitty/Kate Pryde is definitely one of my faves.

Yes. She does rock. Both as a pirate and as a ninja.
