When did iceman become gay

Present Iceman eventually admitted that he is indeed gay, saying that he was already persecuted for being a mutant and an X-Man and he didn’t want to add being gay to the list.

One of the interesting aspects of young Iceman coming out in the most recent issue of All-New X-Men (and from the sound of Brian Michael Bendis' discussions of the topic, it sure sounds like adult Iceman will be catching up with him, as well) is the notion that Iceman being gay is something supported in past comics. Bendis noted to CBR.

In Uncanny X-Men #, which hits newsstands on Nov. 4, the young Iceman, or Bobby Drake, comes out officially as a gay man while confronting his older self. Iceman's coming out, however, is.

Comic book legend Stan Lee was surprised to learn that his Marvel character Iceman is gay. Lee, 92, created Iceman – real name Bobby Drake – with artist Jack Kirby and the character made his.
