The whole XMen mutant thing is said by many to be a euphamism for gays being ostracized.

Actually, X-Men had it's roots in the 60s civil rights movement. Magneto was even patterned after Malcolm X. It's Bryan Singer the director of Fox's X-Men movies, who is trying to change the message.

I should have also added that present day Marvel and X-Men definitely does push the left’s agenda, as do many comics today. So your argument isn’t without merit.

That is partly true but I remember the gay references/discussions long before he came on the scene. Stan Lee IIRC even said at one point they were an amalgimation/representation of ‘outsiders’ and people being ‘oppressed’ for ‘who they were’. To be sure, he was also talking about blacks, but the gay thing has long been there.
