Yes I'm aware the spin-off is about the Casagrandes, they are the only prominent Hispanic american family featured on the show so far. The point I was trying to make is when a LGBTQ character (or any minority group for that matter) is featured in any medium there is someone that makes a cynical claim that networks are adding this character as a ratings ploy. But I doubt Nick or any network for that matter sends marching orders to the staff working on a show saying "put in a gay character", the more logical reason is that staff members likely have family members or know individuals who are gay (there are probably members of the staff who are gay), and are likely relating their experiences possibly through this character in a non-self insert way.

Also no one is forcing you to watch episodes that might cover these topics nor are they rubbing it in your face. They aren't subjecting you to what Malcom McDowell went through in A Clockwork Orange or sending people to your house to force you to watch it. You can opt out of watching them like others do for Brawl, NSL, or other episodes others don't generally like.
