Obviously, the character should not be politicized. And never make the coming out moment into a "very special episode".
No stereotypicalness, it's just another trait, because sexuality is no big deal.

Right, but if they or the writers make a big deal of it, I will not like the charachter. It needs to be discreet, like a side note.

Hell.

Any established character "Comes out"? They drop to worst pony. I don't care who.

There is a fine line, Olthar. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

Yes the bigots will make a fuss, so what? However, I believe change best comes gradually, just make it subtle, then build upon it.

Agreed. It shouldn't ne the focus of an episode, just an "oh hey, and this."

Preferably not even that. Not a direct mention, hints a clues, and the feeling of "yeah, he's probabaly gay" but no concrete confirmation.

I think there should be more gays in TV, but only so much. Having a gay in every damn show would be a very innacurate over-representation of the amount of gays in the population. It would be like making sure a memeber of every race is in the cast of every show, which would just be ludicrous.

Assuming boycotting has ever worked.

Take a look at when people tried to boycott the Olympics for similar reasons.

Your rights give you your life, that life gives you the right to stand for what is right for the world and one of those rights in the world is standing strong for those you love and what you love as a whole.
