I'm only asking cuz all the examples I can think of off the top of my head at least, regarding recent LGBT+ characters/representation (Steven Universe, She-Ra, Owl House, etc.), all coincidentally involve gay/bi women. I'm having a much harder time thinking of any gay/bi men.

I hope you know what I'm getting at and I'm not coming off as a "WHERE'S WHITE/STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH?!" guy.

    Jojo's bizarre adventure is the only recent example I can think of. A lot of people say the show has homoerotic undertones, and in season 5 there is a gay couple, Tiziano and Squalo.

    But I think that fem queer representation is more common at least in animation. For kids shows, maybe execs think they are "safer" because straight guys can objectify queer women, but not queer men. I'm thinking of Legend of Korra here, how Korra and Asami end up together, but they're the only named same-sex couple.
