I think those not wanting to even acknowledge some gay rights subtext in the X-Men films are pretty ignorant. Especially when even the director says such material is in the films.

But, again, I'll point out that the fact that "anyone can be a mutant" is definitely more like homosexuality than an easily recognizable trait like race.

That's what the poster meant - that he was a mutant in the movie but not in the comics.
