when I was a kid Anime wasn't especially homophobic at all
in fact a lot of the animes that got mainstream success here had gay characters back in the 90's and early 2000's
Cardcaptor Sakura: every main character is LGBT as confirmed by Clamp (including Sakura, they recently confirmed she is Bi)
Sailor Moon: heroic Lesbian characters added to main cast in 3rd Story arc, manga also contains one Male gay or bi character (a classmate of Tuxedo mask's)
Outlaw Star: Fred Luo, admittedly not the absolute best example of a gay character, but he wasn't ugly and he was the main character's friend
Cowboy Bebop: the episode Jupiter Jazz
and there were a handful of other animes in the 90's that at the very least had semi-positive portrayals of LGBT people
now all we're getting out of anime is
the fuck happened?
