All I can say is: don't force stuff on the non-LGBT or the LGBT communities. Let both aknowledge and accept each other and go their merry ways. No one needs to convert, send death threats (seriously, that's just SICK), or anything. If someone is LGBT, let it be. Same with those who are heterosexual.

As for CN and LGBT, let's not get all over hyped or anything about it. Let's remain calm. If they put in some LGBT in, then they do. If they don't, they don't. I am pretty sure CN wants to avoid being a target of death threats and parents who want to sue. LGBT is still a rather controversial and touchy topic despite the progress made. It will also remain that way for a decade or two.

As for my opinion, as long as it is done with tact, respect and not just for laughs, I wouldn't mind seeing a few LGBT side characters. Ben and Gwen are OBVIOUSLY too young to even think of romance maturely and/or seriously to even be made into LGBT characters (they will be ten for goodness sakes, I don't want to watch that). Then again, I'd like to have romance to a minimum. Romance is one of my least favorite genres.
