I feel like part of this is that so many of the "openly gay characters" have been either not so open, extremely in the background, or even debatably gay that each new threshold feels like a "victory" or something.

Don't forget characters that painted gay people in a bad light

Didn’t buzz lightyear and onward (the Chris Pratt Pixar movie) have gay background characters?

Star Wars had a gay background character. That’s all I can think of.

I thought seven was blowing it out of proportion so I looked it up, and I think I was wrong in my initial thought.

There's a bit in Frozen where some bloke they meet introduces his family and it's another fella and their kids.

Not a movie, but The Owl House was quite gay...

Shame it got cancelled. One of my favorite shows

Mine too. Luckily we got Fionna and Cake last month. That one is really good too.
