Hulkling and Wiccan from Young Avengers. It's weird, because during the whole Decimation and House of M, these two were Scarlet Witch and Vision's kids.

If you want to read some very well done story for Northstar coming out, check out the Eve of Destruction arc (X-Men Vol 2 112+)

Apollo and Midnighter of the authority  are, I believe, the first and only openly gay and married superhero couple.

Hulkling is not related to Scarlet witch. He's half skrull and half Kree .

He's the reincarnation(Wrong word) of one of the kids. Even has the same first name. When the reality went back to 'normal' it correcteditself.

Apollo and Midnighter came out in The Authority #7 in 2000. Northstar has them beat by a few years. [openly revealed sexuality (Alpha Flight #106, 1992)]; Also, I think we can agree that the whole Mystique/Destiny thing could be contribed since the two are life partners.

Was going to mention the whole Mystique/Destiny thing too as well.  In fact, they would have been before Northstar I think if Marval had decided to go along with it.

Its all cause the guy in charge of marvel at the time had a rule against gay characters in the marvel universe.  Northstar, Mystique/Destiny, and i believe someone else as well apparantly would have all been much earlier if the writers had been allowed to do so.
