http://www.newsarama.com/comics/the-view-gay-marriage-northstar-x-men.html In Astonishing X-Men #50 (in stores tomorrow), Northstar proposes to his boyfriend Kyle, with the wedding to take place in the following issue. #50 is the first issue of the new creative team, writer Marjorie Liu and artist Mike Perkins. Let me relate a little scene with Northstar which you may not remember. In Alpha Flight volume 2, which was written by Steve Seagal and took place during the "Heroes Reborn" event (where Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, and Fantastic Four were "on loan" to Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld and the characters were in a pocket universe), there is a scene where Northstar flies too high and his powers fail him, and he crashes into the North Atlantic. He is found by a fishing boat, and there is a scene of him talking with one of the seamen. In that scene, the seaman tells Northstar that he has a nephew who is "one of you," meaning that he's gay. Northstar bristles at this, saying that he is "the one with the light powers," not "the gay one." Seems like Liu and Perkins (and Marvel) are more than happy to have Northstar be "the gay one" at this point.
