The topic of Loki as an LGBTQIA+ icon or a symbol for the community and a common God among members of the LGBTQ community has always been something that has puzzled me a great deal I’ve heard the arguments that “loki is queer “ witch I can understand where they are making that connection but however I believe this to be somewhat true in the sense that Loki does engage in homosexual interactions but his motivations are not that of someone who values these relationships but someone who utilizes these relationships and their dynamics for his own selfish benefit and to use them to shield himself from consequences for his wrong doings not because he values the individual’s he’s engaging with but because of the possible benefits of this interaction and I personally don’t think that is a particularly good mascot for LGBTQ heathens we see this in the eddic material sources on loki I would argue that Thor or freyer is a better mascot
