      No, Mutants were more than an allegory for gay and non-hetero people. They were more focused on other marginalized groups at the time. That included the aforementioned group, but bonehead worded it in such a way that it made it sound it was only for that group of people.

        I may have accidentally implied that all mutants are just a stand-in for gay people, which the scene in question very much IS about gay people since no one talks like that about a disability. But at least I didn’t just brush them off as just crying victim.
