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.
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 character 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.
Me too,i wish they cancel that show or make it be in a different universe.
I don't want them to cancel the show, we still haven't seen it in action. I just hope we might have some great animation (love it to have some awesome fight scenes) and character development.

I watched pokemon when I was 6, then I watched it again when I was 11/12 and realised that there was so much more than pokemon battles.
Could you please tell me how much more was change in the show of Pokemon than pokemon battles could you please tell me.

Well at least it be in a different universe,it would be a sweet relief for the fan like me who don't like the reboot show of this at all,sorry for not liking it nor might be saying this after the image of him as 10 year kid that also looks different really disappoints me and made mad and upset,before seeing it I thought it must be him and his team doing their missions or something and then rook comes or something but after seeing this,I was wrong and wasn't happy, Rexfan177 I know you might be happy to be looking forward on this show but personally to me and most of the fans of ben 10 (or maybe it's just me) have their favourite childhood show ruined. By the way could someone tell me about LGBT?If it's bad it would to not show it to the kids,it's pretty bad and rude to show it,what blaziken said is is right about the kids experiencing romantic attraction and ben and gwen shouldn't be LGBT ect,young ones having attraction isn't half bad (i think) but loving the same gender is pretty terrible and definitely not a kid friendly status nor good for the kids.I still think they should cancel it or make it be on a different universe.Which show of ben 10 do u like?
The only damage LGBT causes children is when their parents push anti-LGBT propaganda down their throats, especially if the kids themselves are LGBT. It's as kid-friendly as non-LGBT relationships.
Well, the main protagonists (Ben, Gwen, and Max) as far as I know were never established to be LBGT and I am pretty sure no new main protagonists will be added in. So it is not a very good move to change their established characters, especially when it comes to die hard fans. This not just an LGBT thing, this is pretty much almost everything ranging from personalities to interactions. So basically, I am going off of logic and what we do know in this assumption.
I am trying to word this carefully, and I am pretty sure I am failing. I am pretty much as tactful as Sheldon Cooper when it comes to heated controversy.
