Mutation as homosexuality metaphor: X-Men III preview!

Wow! As Queerty notes, the X-men movies are "the gayest movies ever made without a single gay character." The latest edition ("The Last Stand") opens on May 26 and is about the reaction when a scientific discovery is found that can eliminate mutant characteristics, which some call a "cure." The parallels between homosexuality (or "Other" status) and mutation are clear and compelling: it's a characteristic which children have but their parents often do not; often the mutant abilities develop during puberty; for some people the mutation is visible, for many others no one knows you're a mutant unless you tell them; and society reacts by treating mutants as diseased pariahs. The movie raises the question, "If there existed a pill which would remove your mutant power (OR homosexuality, dark skin, gender, et cetera) would you take it?"
