I want to see more "Benign Queerness"
Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.
I feel like Brooklyn 99 did this well. The chief is a really interesting nuanced character who happens to be gay.
Minor nitpick: he was Captain, not Chief.
And him trying to pass for straight was some of the funniest scenes in the show:
Kids show, but Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts did that pretty well with one of the main cast
I need every character who is gay to be portrayed as a jellybean-throwing simpleton. That way I know they're gay.
I had a buddy growing up who had a really hard time coming to terms with being gay because he really loved lifting weights, football, dirt bikes and hard rock. He was "One of the boys" in an era when most of the portrayal of gay people in popular media was (and I say this with all love) mostly flamboyant lisping queens.
Fortunately his story had a happy ending, but role models are important.
I want to see the waveform of 'wait is this guy oblivious or evil?' Collapse when he does something phenomenally shitty to his boyfriend.
Magic: tG has a few characters. Comes out as queer in a book, never mentioned on any card except maybe during pride month.
