MODERATORS
I remember YMS calling out Onward for advertising having a gay character, and it was just a single scene with a single character who mentioned having a same sex partner at home. Something that could be easily edited out for "the international market".
Having a casual mention that a character is gay is fine, but if it's suppose to be Casual Representation, it should be casually represented. The same emphasis that hetro relationships should be used. Not more.
If it's a story about the Queer Experience, then it would be expected to have more representation though.
