Spider-Man isn’t queer on screen, but he’s a queer icon on Twitter
This weekend, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be catching millions of moviegoers in its animated web, continuing the story of Miles Morales as the wall-crawling superhero. The June 2 film is LGBTQ-affirming — note the “Protect Trans Kids” poster fans spotted in the trailer — but we doubt it’ll establish Miles as anything other than cis and hetero.A queer onscreen Spider-Man is long overdue, as even the latest two live-action Spideys have noted.
