To be fair, it's weirder to not be some form of a bigot when you're born in 1904. And it's also not surprising that it isn't researched properly. Psychology today still isn't researched properly.
I'll eventually watch it in my mornings, but I hope it's more than just "some show is anti-LGBTQ because the boomer who made it learned from someone older than him."
The main thing that would make me think a fanbase is bad is if the fanbase has higher than normal 'problematic group'. Star wars is popular enough you're going to get every type of fan. There is always a small vocal majority in the fanbase. If one out of every thousand fans is a vocal asshole, then a billion fans you're going to get a million vocal assholes. That wouldn't be anti-LGBT that would be par for the course. It would be society, not the show's fault. If it has less than a million then I would say it tries to welcome LGBT folk, because it's going against the norms of society.
