Hello Everyone!

So, I was watching some new western movie trailers, and I noticed an increased number of lgbt characters! That's great!
Then, I thought what if there were mainstream anime and manga (like Naruto), with sexually diverse characters. But, not strictly shounen-ai/yuri or romance/harem/etc, just that (serious) gay/bi characters exist. We watch an anime, and even though we ship homoerotic relationships, it's almost certain that all characters are straight. It's a shame though, because some characters could be gay... like Sasuke or Sai from Naruto, who never showed romantic interest in any girl. And, when they exist, most of the time, they're exceptionally feminine, comic-relief characters, like Emporio Ivankov from One Piece.

What do you think?
