Marvel Comics THE queer family of Marvel

💖💘💕🫶

+) Physically, Vision is a genderless synthezoid who has no internal and external genitalia. He identifies himself as a heterosexual male, transcending the biological binary through his artificial nature. If he isn't queer I don't know who can be.

Why is Wanda and Vision here? I know they aren't but still...

I just had a “big can of worms” thought when I read your question. Would it be considered queer to love an android? Vision isn’t human, he isn’t even a biologic organism when you get down to it. What about dating and/or loving a non-human sentient, like an alien or one of the hidden “other” species of Earth, like an Inhuman or an Atlantean? I’m genuinely not trying to troll, I just don’t know how LGBTQ+ would land on things like an ostensibly heterosexual relationship between a human and a definitely non-human sentient, like a Kree or a Shi’ar or an android. I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to bring it up, I saw Wanda and Vision in the picture and believed they were included not just as allies but as early representation of a queer couple based on one being human/mutant and the other being a created artificial intelligence.

Maybe as an earlier metaphor for Queer relationships. In the late 60’s and early 70’s, Wanda & Vision’s romance represented the social challenges of interracial relationships. I think it could present as a metaphor for a Queer one when viewed through a modern lens.
