Take Clyde's dads for example; they are often cut out of episodes that they appear in for countries such as Russia or the Philippines or in some cases the episode won't even air. I feel like where they have it right now with LGBT characters is fine and I don't think it should be expanded upon. I'm watching this show for laughs and good plots, not as a soap opera. Feel free to disagree with my stance on having more LGBT characters; I just feel like it's fine at the moment and shouldn't become a running factor for the show.

On the twitter for the wiki, I get notifications from people saying how they "love the show 10x better because Luna is gay". Like, okay? You do understand that we already had a same sex couple in the show, right? I feel like this shouldn't make you suddenly love it simply because it's being progressive. There's a lot more that should go into you liking a show other than one of the characters being LGBT. I see this as a case of getting views for the wrong reasons, and it can influence the writers to incorporate more of this to appeal to new fans rather than the dedicated ones that have been watching it from the start for a different reason. IMO, LGBT people like shows with lots of LGBT people for a good reason: Straight people can pick up nearly any book or movie or game and relate to it. It seems that every single one has a straight couple or romance. On the other hand, not many LGBT people can relate. So they like it when a show has lots of characters it can relate to.
