Maybe. I guess, death of the author poo poo, but the filmmakers said he's whatever he wants to be. Dude just likes to gently caress. I've heard that's how he is in the newer comics, rather than being straight up queer. Unless I'm missing something. I've only read the Joe Kelly runs and the Cable Vs. Deadpool stuff. I know he married some girl recently, but that may not have been a girl. I have no idea. I just haven't seen anything that's fully been like "Deadpool is gay." Which, fine if he is, it does add to his character. But if they went kinda half assed with it, I could see that being a bit iffy.

Which is why I would think it's weird to call a film queer, despite the main character being in a non queer relationship. Would that be slightly offensive? Someone let me know. Or are you just saying it's pro queer? Which I could see yeah.

You know queer doesn't mean 'gay' anymore, right? It means anything off the straight cis mainstream. Deadpool being bisexual or omnisexual or whatever would definitely be queer.

MORAL:
To the vector belong the spoils.
also, queer theory can be broadly applied to deconstruct and critique many permutations of gender/sexuality within dominant ideology that aren't necessarily explicitly expressive of homosexuality, transsexualism, etc., or even end up reinforcing dominant values of gender binary and the two-parent heterosexual family (e.g. Mrs. Doubtfire)

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
It's hard to see in the movie, but in the making of extras they explain how they put leather chaps and male genitals on the stuffed unicorn toy he jerks it to.

Pretty good

Isn't Deadpool supposed to be canonically pansexual? I don't read comics so this is a kind of a second hand thing but this film definitely represented him as being gender-agnostic in what he's into.

Yes, Deadpool is canon pansexual. He's also pretty vocal about his crush on Spiderman.

I think you mistake queerness for femininity a lot in your critiques. Deadpool is a decidedly queer film which is kind of cool. Also your entire inability at the concept of humor.

The man fell down.

This is funny because of the current issue with the ACA and as you can see the man won't be able to afford medical bills due to his coverage plan ,which is a critique of Obamacare.

It's just loving bizarre.

A real joke is saying the man fell down but it gets better, so we'd like to thank him and twentieth century fox for raising lgbt awareness.

The joke of Wilson's unicorn is that it represents the Xmen franchise money-machine, and it's wearing chaps to ride him. And this should be read in concert with the film's ambivalence towards imagery of domination, linked as it is to the recurring theme of child abuse and exploitation. ("Dad?")

This is not to call the film ***problematic*** or whatever, but it's also important note the difference between 'riding the unicorn' and 'being ridden by' - while also questioning this whole basic premise of becoming a superhero by riding the franchise wave.

Hooray, the Deadpool movie made X million dollars! This is great news! For Deadpool!

In Deadpool 2 Deadpool teams up with "Manspider" who's basically exactly like "Spiderman" but just different enough that Disney can't sue.

Have you forgotten that menage a trois are a thing?

Edit: I mean I don't know about you, but if I had the chance to date both Deadpool and Knock-off Spiderman at the same time and they were both cool with it I'd take it.

I say the new J. K. Simmons workout photos are misdirection.
He isn't preparing to be Gordon.
He is preparing for his next role as Cable.
