If there are romance / sexuality plots, it's absolutely fair to include gay characters. Both for inclusivity, and heck, just for realism because you know, gay people exist.

If it's like, an action movie that's just about people shooting each other or whatever, I really couldn't care less. Heck, most characters' sexuality probably just won't be confirmed either way.

Deep down most of them don't really care.

It's only matters because it's a jab at the other side.

If it's a "jab" at one side for gay characters to be in a show, that side is clearly the wrong one

Most of the time it's just pandering but decent representation never hurt.

Luca is how to do a gay movie right imo . I legit cared about their relationship, and yea , they were totally gay.

Who gets pissed at that? With the exception of the morons on Twitter who are literally paid to pretend to be outraged

If you're actually dumb enough to believe that's a common sentiment and not just propoganda/idiot entertainment... I don't even know.

Meanwhile a good chunk of Republicans are anti LGBT and not just for entertainment purposes

just for realism because you know

the problem is how they're usually portrayed is anything but realistic.

there will always be some sort of very obvious spotlight to let the audience know "here is our gay representative" since you can't really tell, just like in real life.

the actual real-life equivalent would be if the vegan joke applied to gays:
How can you tell if someone is vegan? Dont worry, theyll tell you themselves.

the only exception is if there's an over-the-top flamboyant character which is just more offensive tbh since it's like they're created stereotypically as gay first before any actual character traits

Why do right wing people need people to be straight so much? Why do you care so much about their genitals?

Kinda creepy tbh. Just enjoy the story for the story please.

Why do conservatives want their fictional universes to be populated entirely by straight white people? Dats a rhetorical question, we all know why.

Wanna hear something funny? A lot of liberals aren't for gay people either. They just accept it cause they are liberal and want liberals to win in the elections. Like older liberals I mean. Talk to them and they seem way more conservative minded but they choose a side and have stuck to it. Like older black people if I'm being honest. A good amount ain't pro LGBT but are liberal simply cause Republicans have done nothing to show they are helping them. Naturally you are gonna pick the side that's offering the helping hand to your problems.

Anyways that's been my dilemma in life. I'm in the middle I'm part of LGBT but I also side with conservatives on a few issues like guns and military.

To be quite blunt, there's never going to be a "socially acceptable" time for "forced diversity" or anything else that changes society.

You know what? You fucking do it anyway and let people bitch if they want to. They'd act like petulant assholes toward minorities for some other reason anyway. Conformity doesn't get you bonus points, it just makes you a sheep.
