Bobby should be straight purely because he always has been, for over fifty years. I have never cared about the sexuality of a character but I do however have a problem with long established characters being changed (Whatever that change may be) Bobby being changed was wholly unnecessary especially since there are already several gay characters associated with the X-Men that nobody has ever had any issues with (Karma, North Star, Bling, Anole, Greymalkin etc.)
Personally I would have found it far more interesting if the young time displaced Bobby was gay and the original 616 Bobby remained straight (Now that we know they're not from the same timeline)
No, they are coming from the same timeline. In the last issue before the relaunch to X-men Blue, they all went back to the past but couldn't stay there because the past corrected itself and created another version of themselves in order to stabilize the timeline. If they come from an alternate universe, there wouldn't be a need for that universe to create a copy of them to maintain timeline consistence.
Now that Iceman is confirmed to be gay, it's not like they could push him back in the closet again when there's an arc in his book about him trying to come out to his parents.
I'm not saying they could 'un-gay' Bobby, (And let's face it even if Marvel decided to actually do something the vast majority of long term fans wanted for once the force of the SJW outrage would reach supernova levels) My point was that they shouldn't have done it in the first place, it was silly and unnecessary.
