Gasp! X-Men Is A Gay Allegory!

The always culturally au courant Christian right has suddenly stumbled onto the fact that the X-Men series is one big honking allegory for gay rights. Viciously anti-gay wingnut Michael Brown opens today's Townhall column with this:

The X-Men movie series, based on the comic books of the same name, is well-known for its unusual cast of gifted mutants and for its extraordinary special effects. What is not as widely known about the X-Men is the fact that the movies, along with the comic books, draw many clear parallels between the mutants and the gay and lesbian community.

Get the fainting couch! Even Bryan Fischer is shocked! Shocked, I tells ya!
