In the time-twisting issue of All-New X-Men, Jean Grey – the X-Men’s resident telepath – travels back in time and reads the mind of a young Iceman, revealing that he was gay when he was a teenager. She later returns to present day to alert the older Iceman of her discovery.

Theonly way that this makes sense to me is this: Ice Man was always a closeted gay guy. As a young man he chose to stay in the closet and build a fake hetero persona. Jean Grey realizes this during a time travel trip and, when she returns, alerts Ice Man that she has discovered his secret and asks him what he wants to do from that point. So of course he comes out of the closet with lots of drama because this is a comic book.
