After retconning Mystique and Destiny's backgrounds, now Marvel's putting them in a lesbian wedding for pride month

Superhero Hype is fluff-coating news of Marvel's now predictable participation in pride month, with Destiny and Mystique the spotlight of a lesbian wedding, this after they were both recently retconned into Nightcrawler's parents for the sake of cheap wokeism:
Marvel Comics has announced a brand-new X-Men wedding special celebrating the love between Mystique and Destiny.

Per Marvel, X-Men: The Wedding Special #1 arrives in comic shops late this coming May — just in time for the start of Pride Month in June. The mutant-centric one-shot acts as this year’s Marvel’s Voices: Pride anthology, featuring stories from such writers as Kieron Gillen, Tini Howard, Tate Brombal, and Wyatt Kennedy. Jan Bazaldua provides the main cover artwork. Marvel will announce the book’s interior artists at a later date.

[...] The aforementioned Gillen — a longtime architect of Marvel‘s X-Men line — will handle Destiny and Mystique’s nuptials. “They’ve been through hell, mainly at my pen. Finally, giving these two a happy day? How can I say no,” the writer said.
Well they're right about one thing - as an "architect", Gillen is one of the worst things that could've befallen Marvel in over a decade, recalling he was the writer who retconned Tony Stark's parents from biological to adoptive. With those kind of awful scribes on board, that alone is reason enough to avoid this newest cheap sensationalism, which also builds on the premise of both Mystique and Destiny being Nightcrawler's parents. A real waste of paper they have going here, and nobody should throw away money on this any more than the wedding of Northstar to a homosexual boyfriend of his from the past decade.
