Especially not so soon after what Voltron did... What did Voltron do...? Shiro had a male lover before he left on the Kerberos, which they had broken up prior. (Adam had given him an ultimatum between him and the Kerberos mission due to some sort of disease/condition (can't exactly remember what it was) Shiro had that made Adam worry about Shiro potentially dying.) However none of this was mentioned before he died in Season 2, fearing backlash because of the trope Long story short, he was revived in the Season 6 finale by Allura putting his soul into a clone body, and more of his background was touched upon in Season 7.

However when Team Voltron return to Earth, they find out that the Galra have invaded, and a subsequent war broken out between them and the Galaxy Garrison. Adam was among one of the many casualties during the war, leading to some backlash due to said trope, especially since he only got like a few minutes of screen time.
