Rather odd they chose to do this when Iceman has always been portrayed as straight. But I guess nowadays you always have to have a token gay character even if its one that was established straight for years.

I'm just glad it wasn't Cyclops. When I saw the headline "founding X-men member" I thought it was going to be Beast who came out as gay.
