My problem is the stereotypes. Have a strong women she's a lesbian, a girl who likes sports a lesbian. Gay man is over the top flamboyant. They might be representing but it still seems stereotyped.
Oh 100% that's an issue esp with Disney movies I feel like, but in general I find that there's a lot of just bad stereotypes that get away with masquerading as "gay humor", or the fact that a character is queer is just shoehorned in later, but plays no bearing on the character.
Anecdotally I've gotten back into Apex Legends recently, and LOVE the representation in that game. One of my mains, Fuse, is stereotypical Aussie manly man who loves explosives, and just so happens to be pansexual and very affectionate with his nb partner. They're a genuinely enjoyable couple without any of the traditional gay/queer stereotypes found in other media, it's so refreshing.
