Alan Cumming calls X-Men sequel X2 the 'gayest' film that he's ever made: 'It's an allegory about queerness'
Daily Mail ^ | June 17, 2024 | Kevin Kayhart

Alan Cumming has declared that the 2003 X-Men movie X2 is 'the gayest film that I've ever done.'

The Scottish actor and television personality followed up by adding, 'And that's me saying that,' during the conversation to promote his reality competition series The Traitors.

'It's got a queer director, lots of queer actors in it,' he said while making his case to Entertainment Weekly. 'I love the fact that something so mainstream and so in the comic book world is so queer.'

He went on to explain, 'I think, in a way, those sorts of films really help people understand queerness, because you can address it in an artistic way, and everyone is less scared of the concept.'

'It's an allegory about queerness, about people having these great gifts and really great, powerful things that they have to hide to exist,' Cumming, 59, added. 'Queer people understand what that's all about.'

In the film Cumming plays Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler, a bright blue mutant with the ability to teleport himself and others instantly from one location to another.

Now I understand why the superheroes always wore skin tight costumes.

At least he admits it.

Many people don’t believe that that they are being flooded with homo advertising 24/7.

Homo messaging in schools, movies, music, government sponsored diversity training.

Your brain is being pumped full of homo junk as soon as you turn the TV on, go on social media, in public schools, in some cases at work.

I never got into superhero movies, and I am glad I didn’t waste the time.

people having these great gifts and really great, powerful things

What is so "really great, powerful" about the urge to insert one's penis into another man's rectum?

Same thing with race. Go to Walmart's or Target's main webpage, and you would think half of the country is black (and usually female).

Tell it to Doctor Who, which went full on gay fanfiction this season and drove away their entire audience.

Yeah ... and how are "super powers" relevant to the urge to commit buggery?

Don’t think it’s mainstream anymore.

Way to guarantee a bomb at the box office. I do wish they’d stolen the word “mutant” instead of “gay”.
