'X-Men' director Bryan Singer accused of sexually abusing 17-year-old boy in 1999:
  • The plaintiff in the lawsuit was named as Michael F. Egan III, a resident of Nevada. The lawsuit alleges that Singer "manipulated his power, wealth, and position in the entertainment industry to sexually abuse and exploit the underage Plaintiff through the use of drugs, alcohol, threats, and inducements." The lawsuit further alleges that Singer was part of a group of powerful men in the entertainment industry who "maintained and exploited boys in a sordid sex ring."

So, the X-men movies aren't just metaphors for homosexuality, but for the idea of older gay men grooming teenagers to join their secret group?
