Prompt: 869. X-Men Comicsverse: Hank McCoy. Hank McCoy once told the world he was gay in a publicity stunt. What was the public reaction? Did he ever recant? What was the reaction then? (You can play it as the implicit New X-Men canon - that he's actually straight - but if so I'd like to see the reactions of gay characters. Or you can say he was actually telling the truth all along.)
Summary: Hank McCoy has two problems – everyone knows, and yet everyone doesn't.
Warnings: nothing to worry about, as long as you aren't scared of polysyllables.
