Off the top of my head, SpongeBob SquarePants, Danny Phantom, Fairly Oddparents, The Big Bang Theory and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia all have jokes, if not the main plot point of the episode, that are just mocking the existence of LGBTQ people.
One of the examples I mentioned was It's Always Sunny. I was referring to the transgender girlfriend Mac has in the first two seasons, which is portrays this as something that, at a minimum, is abnormal. While this was not horrible for the mid-to-late 2000s, it is definitely bad looking back.
Of course, the show does have the character return and makes the people who think poorly of her look bad.
Hmmm, I could be wrong, but wasn't the joke that Mac was in complete denial about it?
A bit but there was some mis gendering and other relatively problematic stuff going on, i think the crew said it’s like the one thing they wish they could go back and change or didn’t feel like they handled as well as they could.

Definitely agree. How they handled the pilot episode was much better, it was all about CIS-male fragility. I think the creators regret how they treated that character though.
