I personally dont think these thing should be encouraged at all. You know impressionable young kids are watching this these shows. I might sound paranoid but if you watch tv shows made after 2010, you would notice the unproportionate amount of lgbt characters. So there definitely is some sort of agenda going on.I mostly view it as the media trying to change the narrative on the perception people have on homosexuals.
I was indeed bothered when they turned iceman gay. I think at that point they just chose a random person and made them homosexual for no reason.
It would have been better if they picked a character and mentioned they’ve grew up closeted and came out as homosexual. Which I’m pretty sure they did
