I absolutely would give my soul to him
I want to see more "Benign Queerness"
Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.
I feel like Brooklyn 99 did this well. ~~The chief~~ Captain Holt is a really interesting nuanced character who happens to be gay.
Minor nitpick: he was Captain, not Chief.
And him trying to pass for straight was some of the funniest scenes in the show:
Guard: It just seems like you wanna be with Jamie-Lynn. I mean, you keep talking about her thigh gap.
Captain Holt: That's my favorite part of a woman. There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.
Kids show, but Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts did that pretty well with one of the main cast
I need every character who is gay to be portrayed as a jellybean-throwing simpleton. That way I know they're gay.
I had a buddy growing up who had a really hard time coming to terms with being gay because he really loved lifting weights, football, dirt bikes and hard rock. He was "One of the boys" in an era when most of the portrayal of gay people in popular media was (and I say this with all love) mostly flamboyant lisping queens.
Fortunately his story had a happy ending, but role models are important.
I'm very gender fluid even though I'm straight af. I don't even know what the hell's going on with my gender identity to be honest I don't know the magic words and I don't even care because I accept myself for who I am finally. I would have loved to know it's okay to not align myself or portray myself as the stereotypical man because I don't feel that way inside. Basically I'm agreeing with you but in my own way.
Magic: tG has a few characters. Comes out as queer in a book, never mentioned on any card except maybe during pride month.
I want to see the waveform of 'wait is this guy oblivious or evil?' Collapse when he does something phenomenally shitty to his boyfriend.
Agatha harkness
I only know Agatha Harkness from Marvel's Midnight Suns so I'm only vaguely aware she's evil in other media?
yes, if you want to see evil agatha in a non-comic book check out wandavision
also midnight suns is an incredible game and i was surprised agatha was a hero 😂
It was such a good game! I'm sad it won't get a sequel. Ebony is the best cat shaped cat like creature!
depends on how you view the character but banky from chasing amy
she's absolutely Devine
Fun fact, her voice actress in Latin American Spanish is Serena Olvido, a trans Mexican actress and drag queen, who was the sole voice to convince the casting director for the role.

All the best Disney villains are LGBTQ+ coded. Jafar, Ursula, Scar. You could even make a case for Gaston!
I’ve never considered this…
What’s the argument for Gaston though?
Gaston has a trio of smoking hot blondes that are all over him, but he goes for the bookworm who wants nothing to do with him. He wants a wife who won't care when he goes on extended "hunting trips" with his manly man buddies, not one who will be all over him in the bedroom.
Well, Gaston isn't really attracted to anyone but himself. He's a classic narcissist, and his pursuit of Belle is purely to feed his ego. If he could have sex with himself, he would. Vigorously, and somehow selfishly.
Le Fou, on the other hand, is an effeminate sycophant. The live action explicitly makes him gay, but the animated version merely suggests it. Singing about how handsome and manly he is, and how much everybody wants to wrestle with Gaston with the biting and the spitting and the hair-covered inches.

You know... there's an old gay man i know who's always reminded me a little of Scar and I could never quite figure out why.

I dunno... one reason the anti-queer rethoric is so prevalent is because in much media, but mostly comics, theater and movies, there is a tradition of queer-coded-evilness, and often it reads as evil-queerness. Mainly due to the american "code for media decency" preventing potraying queer people in positive light for many years.
This came to associate queerness with perversion and malice and all the prejudice some people still associate gay people with today. And I don't know if media-creators should play into that trope again.
I mean yes, Scar, Jafar and Ursula were resplendend and fascinating in their fabulous evilness. Sophisticated, oozing sexuality, theatrical and intelligent. And that makes them fascinating, wonderful characters but damn... I'm just so fed up with the media vilifying queer- and trans-coding.
And not only that, vilifying intelligence, the dramatic, sexual confidence and sophistication... or just british accents. The 90s Disneys movies were really really bad about all that.
Okay but weve all seen what makes these people cheer, so I dont think i cpuld sleep at night if they didnt think i was evil.

Interestingly enough...
Hannibal Lecter: Look for severe childhood disturbances associated with violence. Our Billy wasn't born a criminal, Clarice. He was made one through years of systematic abuse. Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying.
