As one meme that's been going around shows an image of Mjollnir with the caption "This hammer smashes fascists." we should not forget that there is other oppression that the Danger Duo (as a friend of mine at one point called Loki and Thor) takes on. There's a whole swath of marginalized people that the friends of Midgard are going to be interested in. Loki is especially concerned with the LGBTQ+ community. He is gender fluid in his presentation but masculine in his orientation. That means this shapeshifter god can pop up as a Marilyn Monroe-esque Hollywood worthy bombshell figure but still be himself. Loki has multiple lovers of different gender. Loki's been ergi in some relationships (it is my opinion that he's likely switch when it comes to the BDSM question because that makes it even more taboo for him to take on the submissive role). Loki's both sired and birthed children. He ticks of a lot of the LGBTQ+ bingo card points with out any effort just based off of the remaining lore we have after we filter out the Christian baggage and before we start talking about modern gnosis about him.
I know that as a god of transgressions, Loki is immensely supportive of people who are considered transgressions against society simply because they exist. I know that Loki is inclined to help out the marginalized people because he has a soft spot in his heart for the underdog. As such, he is especially concerned with the welfare of LGBTQ+ people of color.
[...] I had more and a coherent additional point I was going to make here but typing up a post with a migraine doesn't work that well. Especially when there are a couple of pre-teens being rather loud in the background. Ugh. My battleship has been sunk. I'm stuck in a rubber dinghy and spinning my wheels trying to remember what more I wanted to add. Sorry.
