Actually, that happens a lot to queer characters in fiction, I'd argue disproportionately so. And lesbian characters bear the brunt of it. It was so common it became a cliche until very recently, when people started clocking every show featuring lesbian relationships and the rate at which they die, and just kind of showed the industry a mirror.

Why is there a Q at the end? Aren't queers and gays the same thing?

Questioning I think it more commonly stands for now.

voltron revealed the main character of the series was gay
his ex fiance adam was introduced in one episode

then

adam died and people are annoyed because a random one episode character was killed and that has become more important to them then the leader of the team being an openly gay man in a kids cartoon. ive said before but i would have killed for a role model like shiro when i was growing up

I thought that fell under the T.

The T is Transexual. Questioning is broader than just that.

Some do use it for queer though.

Questioning and Queer, with 'queer' referring to anyone who isn't straight and non-trans, but who also isn't represented by the other four numbers.

It's complex, because some gay people still remember when the word was primarily used as hate speech, and feel a way.

That's stupid. If you want to "Not you" something pick one that actively makes us the butt of the joke.

If you don't like these shows or don't want your family to be part of them, then don't watch them. It's that simple.

On the subject of inclusion, I'd like to see some positive representation of people with menal handicaps/disabilities.

Maybe a main character that is someone who is higher functioning. I think people would just laugh or turn a character into a joke otherwise, which is sad.

Also, I don't remember if I said this in the original "Shiro is gay" topic, but if there was one character in the show I would have thought was LGBT(having admittedly not watched the show) it was Keith.

Given the two years or so in hellspace with his mom, I'm surprised he didn't go all oedipal.

also i like that keiths biggest role model and the person he looks up to the most in the world is a gay man
when i was a teen the concept of a teenage boy treating a homosexual as anything other than a joke was completely foreign to me

Queer Duck. It was an old flash cartoon show that somehow wrangled it's way onto Showtime of all places. Only caught one episode where the main character takes his nephew's boyscout troop camping and freaking out trying to not 'act gay'.I thought it was pretty cute.

Probably still the best representation of a gay couple in animated media.
