"Aw, mom, who'd you betray and try to kill now?"

[scorntx]

"Why do you assume I've betrayed someone?"
"You literally have someone's blood on yours hands right now!"
"... *looks down* Oh. So I do."

Is that Cecily working as the doorperson at a club?

She was an X-man herself.

While we're at it, if you have a secret club so hide people with obvious mutations, is putting an obvious mutant on door duty not counterproductive?

[cyberghostface]

Everyone is a mutant in this reality. Romance/sex is what’s being forbidden.

Ah. I didn't catch the "Age of X-Man" bit. Foolish me.

Just a half-face mask seems a little lacking considering the distinctive mutations some people have...

They should've handed out image inducers. Would've been fitting for a Nightcrawler series.

The masks are just a symbol. As Meggan points out, the anonymity comes from the shared risk - just like real gay clubs.

I have to say, I'm liking this event a lot more than I expected. It's good to see writers really exploring the LGBT+ metaphor.

Seeing Apocalypse of all people espousing making love not war (in more ways than one) never fails to be bizarre.

If you listen to the most recent episode of the Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men podcast, you'll hear their panel form ECCC, with three of the Age of X-Man writers (including this one) talk about their titles. They are very clearly and strongly approaching this event from that perspective and are very passionate about it.

I'll be honest, I was half-expecting an Eyes Wide Shut scenario to play out.
