Of course it is. I’m always surprised when people don’t pick up on that. Though, I did grow up in New York City and knew a lot of gay people growing up, so maybe I’m more aware of such things than some.
When I first saw the movie, I figured “Oh, Bryan Singer is gay and has a thing for old British guys. I had no idea.”
You know what? The first couple movies are still pretty damn good. At least Singer didn’t make the horrible Batman movie that was all about the codpieces like Joel Schumacher did. Okay, he came close with Superman Returns, but X-Men is still pretty good.
The nice thing about movies or literature is that you can read into them what you want.
Bryan Singer may say that the mutants are gay, but you can call them Christian.
The government has, at least lately, wanted to keep track of homosexuals, but they certainly want to keep tabs on those Christians.
