Remember When the X-Men Movies Were Gay?

Hi queers, I am BACK with a brand new series on the channel 'Queer Code'. This series will be me breaking down all the gay/queer subtext and text in my favorite films (critically panned films). I hope you enjoy and maybe even learn something! This video is all about the queer/gay subtext in X2: X-Men United (2003). Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
