I'm glad that was just a credits scene, but you got something wrong. Kaldur and wyynde are 1 of the 2 gay couples. Greg Weisman confirmed that Ed is gay and in a relationship with someone, but Greg's not allowed by some higher ups to confirm that that someone is Bart, so he can only hint that they're together. Of course, this only further proves your point, not lessens it

Edit: There's also the poly relationship now that has 2 men and a woman in it, but I'm pretty sure they only set that up to kill one of the men off in the next episode

I didn't know this before. Are they serious? So a gay male relationship is a big no-no but officially on-screen declaring made-up pronouns and gender identity nonsense is perfectly fine? Do they even know how and why did LGBTQ+ start?

I wouldn't be surprised if they get Violet in a relationship with a demi genderfluid man and call it "queer representation" because god forbid we get a legitimate gay male/lesbian relationship in this show. I'm still salty that they barely explored Aqualad's relationship with Wyynde and yet they choose to do this.

Does anyone else foresee that "gay" relationships among characters in media will soon consist of... a man who "identifies" as something other than male + a woman who "identifies" as something other than female? Ooh, an enby with a dick dating a demiboy with a pussy! Neither of whom would ever date anyone with junk matching their own IN A MILLION YEARS! How can you possibly get gayer than THAT? SO diverse and inclusive!

Brings to mind what they used to say about the Ford Model T: "any color as long as it's black". Depicting gay relationships is FINE... as long as the only people in 'em are straight :(

Yes, for a number of reasons. Including for expedience because they can simultaneously claim “gay” and trans representation in one bundle. It’s quick, easy, and low effort. And since most of the people pushing for “LGBTQ” are heterosexual pronoun people or heterosexual allies of pronoun people, they will absolutely be satisfied and will not see any problem or the irony. They are also more likely to see themselves represented by this. It feels pretty inevitable to be honest. And it is stomach turning.

Omg why?? Why is sexuality suddenly so important??

The worst part is that DC actually made quite a few character LGB, which is cool (well it's supposed to be cool but now I am almost numb to any sort of representation from any big companies because it ultimately gets ruined by the they/them crew, and doesn't feel genuine). But the more time passes, the more it looks like they're using LGB as a bridge for trans nonsense on top of probably doing it for appearing woke and progressive. And if I'm pushing that thought further, that's how the whole TQ+ thing feels like. Using LGB people as a launching pad to fullfil their weird agenda. They never gave a shit about same-sex attraction.
