Glaad has chimed in...
quote:
Speaking to the AP (via USA Today), GLAAD entertainment media strategist Megan Townsend said of the hashtag:
“It’s getting increasingly difficult to ignore that LGBT people remain almost completely shut out of Hollywood’s big-budget comic films that have dominated the box office over the past couple of years.”
Adding that the studios “really do have an opportunity,” Townsend pointed out that there’s room in the MCU “for established characters to have backstories built out that we weren’t aware of,” even though Captain America was never LGBT in the comics.
GLAAD fairly recently published their annual Hollywood report card that grades studios on well they’ve represented the LGBT in their major releases. The sad part is that not one studio scored “Good” markings. There were 126 major wide releases hitting theaters in 2015, and only 22 of them included LGBT characters. Disney proved to be one of the worst examples, earning a grade of “Failing.” GLAAD’s report specifically called out The Mouse House to be more inclusive of the community given its large reach with Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Disney’s live-action and animation divisions.

They should just create more or us the characters that are already gay in more prominent roles.
The problem for Marvel is that most of the bad arse characters that have been gay in the comics are mutants. Versions of Ice-Man and Colossus were gay and it wouldn't hurt any existing plots to make them so right now.
Hell, it would even make sense that the Fox-Men Ice-Man picked Rouge as his girlfriend as it's the perfect cover for a closeted person since they can't touch each other.
