The opening pages of Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1 from 2021 laid out the modern take on Marvel’s queer history, opening with Canadian superhero Northstar literally leaping at the reader in a recreation of the melodramatic moment everyone remembers from Alpha Flight #106, yelling “I AM GAY” at the top of his voice. The story goes on to retcon the Marvel Universe into an inclusive home for queer characters of all kinds that has always existed if you knew where to look.

The reality is less forgiving.
