[Ultimate X-Men as homosexual propaganda.]
Yes, I do feel that homosexual propaganda has infiltrated popular culture these days. I can't think of how many movies I have started to watch, only to find that there is a token homosexual character that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. It is definitely propaganda, though you might not realize it if you have been exposed to it a lot, and think of it as normal. I haven't, so I noticed right away. Propaganda, for those who are confused, is defined as "The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause". By this definition, constantly repeating the dogma that "homosexuality is simply another lifestyle choice", and putting it in print, on the airwaves and in the movies certainly qualifies as propaganda. They are trying to change the prevailing views.

It's called character depth. Can't accept Colossus can still kick ass and enjoy it too?
Firstly, using the word 'propagation' to define 'propaganda' would get you a 'D' in my english class in high school.
Yes, I do feel that racial propaganda has infiltrated popular culture these days. I can't think of how many movies I have started to watch, only to find that there is a token racial minority character that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. It is definitely propaganda, though you might not realize it if you have been exposed to it a lot, and think of it as normal. I haven't, so I noticed right away. Propaganda, for those who are confused, is defined as "The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause". By this definition, constantly repeating the dogma that "racial harmony is simply another lifestyle choice", and putting it in print, on the airwaves and in the movies certainly qualifies as propaganda.

Seomah, I don't think anything in the movies gave a hint of Colossus' sexual orientation either way. But I've been away from the comics a long time now, so for all I know, it's possible he came out of the closet there. But I cannot verify it.
Colossus barely has a sentence in the 3rd movie (and he hasn't even his accent), so you can guess how much thought the scenarists gave to his sexual orientation...
In this [Ultimate X-Men] universe, Colossus is indeed gay, and currently dating Northstar (Canadian mutant speedster who is gay in both universes).
X-men and homosexuality?, I thought that Jean Gray was a female mutant with two male suitors, and that Rogue was a full female being too, in love with an icy boyfriend, but, well, if you want to see the rainbow............
First off, being gay is not a "lifestyle choice" because it isn't a choice.
So don't read X-Men. Add it to the list of places you will not go, businesses you will not patronize and people you will not listen to.
Soon your world will be too small to live in. What then?
There are also often a token tall character that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
Constantly repeating the dogma that "black skin is simply another lifestyle choice" is also propaganda, then.
It's YOU fundes that want to change the prevailing views. Most people accept homosexuality as a natural variety of sexual orientation.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
