They'll just get praised for the bare minimum of LGBT representation. I don't care if any member of CFVE is gay unless it's in any way actually relevent. It's okay for a character to be gay... but not a side character who's not gonna get it actually developped or not in a relationship. Ya know Gomez & Mortica Addams? They are the most romantic couple in television history and I love them. Why can't we get that? but with one of them genderflipped.

Cause they gonna screw it up again just like they did with the train wreck that was Bumblebee. I WANTED THAT SHIP TO HAPPEN BUT I WANTED IT TO BE FUCKING WELL-WRITTEN AND PERSISTANT IN STORY TELLING. NOT JUST TO APPEASE THE FUCKING FANS.

Well I agree to a certain degree, I don't think a character's sexuality should always be relevent. Sometimes, people are gay or bi. That's how it goes. By making it look all special and unique and 'not the norm', it ultimately undermines what the LBGT+community wants. I very much therefore approve of Terra and Sapphron. They're just lesbian. No special attention to it is given. Everyone acts normal. Its made out to be normal.

I mean, think about it. Aside from stories that focus heavily on romance, how often does a character's heterosexuality have a big impact on the story?
