Derpyrebound, the problem is that the bigots perceive any insertion of LGBT characters to be "forcing", even if it's, say, an optional romance in an RPG (Mass Effect, The Sims) that won't trigger unless you (the player) willingly chases it, even though tailoring your chacter to your specifications is basically the hallmark of an RPG, or a character whose orientation only comes up once in a blue moon (just like in real life, where only bigots make a big deal out of it and spend 80% of their time talking about it).

As for kids and romance, they experience romantic attraction as well. I don't see how being LGBT changes that, though I agree neither Ben nor Gwen should be made into LGBT characters, as per a previous post where I mentioned changing an already-established character to "be more inclusive" is just poor form.
