On the mutan=Civil Right/Gay right, I think what makes mutant the most like the Gay Right movement is not so much passing as the fact that mutants come from every ethnicity and class background, a lot of them from human parents. not to mention a lot of them get their powers and discover they are mutant at *puberty*.
In X-men 2 Iceman *came out* as mutant to his parents!
It might have been created with the Civil Right movement in mind but nowadays it resembles the Gay right movement the most. (that may have been unintentional)
