Problem is:

You make a movie that is specifically LGBTQ themed where plot is about the characters queerness, and MFS on twitter complain.
You have a character that just happens to be queer and does not affect the plot at all, and MFS on twitter will complain (Like Lightyear, or Strange World) and they will even lie and say that the movie has hardcore anal gay sex scenes or something.

You cant win with MFS because they just dont want to see queer people in media.

I am queer and I dont care if the series or movies is all about the queerness or if someone in the movie just happens to be queer. I want the story to be good.
