To be completely fair, I’ve seen LGBT people get upset about a character being gay with it having no bearing on anything. Especially when it’s stuff like “Lando is pansexual” with that having no evidence in or bearing to the story. I haven’t read the comic and don’t really care. But I think there is something to be said about forced diversity and tokenism. I think we can all agree that well written and well rounded characters are better and desirable. Regardless of whether those characters are gay, purple, or a gnat. And simply being a thing is not the same thing.
