Bigots in 2011: Heimdall can't be BLACK! The REAL Heimdall is WHITE! Bigots in 2017: Loki can't be QUEER! The REAL Loki is STRAIGHT! Norse mythology, sipping a cocktail with shades on: Heimdall has nine mothers and Loki got knocked up by a stallion, my dudes. We roll with change.
Having a daughter doesn’t preclude queerness, and given that human beings are the ones constructing and reading the stories about immortal shapeshifters, I feel like we’re within our rights to apply whatever human descriptive terms we like to their preferences.

I mean, if you want to do it that much, I won't stop you, but thinking about it in universe it doesn't really make sense. As for the daughter situation, no it doesn't. It's just he used to be straight, then a new writer made him bisexual, that's how some fans see it, I think.

If you think it makes less sense to describe an immortal shapeshifter as queer than to write an immortal shapeshifter in the first place, then I don’t know what to tell you except that the current writer, the one copping abuse, isn’t *making* him queer; the comics already did.
