Did I miss the Scarlet/Snakes Eyes/Duke love triangle, the Flint/Lady Jaye coupling, the Destro/Baroness coupling and the entire episode of the cartoon about Sirens... or is it only considered Sexuality when it involves gay people?

I figure every Joe and Cobra is by default gay, unless otherwise established. So the only confirmed straight characters are Falcon, Jinx, Scarlet, Destro, Duke, Shipwreck, Doc and Baroness.
No way Lady Jaye is straight... no way, no chance. She and Flint are beards for the other. |

I agree....but sadly companies like disney and viacom think that it has too and are constantly putting it childrens programming. I mean i get theres homosexual kids and all and people can live how they wish but regardless of that kids cartoons and shows should leave sexuality out of kids program so kids can just be kids and not have to grow up too soon.

Zandar definitely likes guys. In the DDP continuity, he was smirking at the sillhouette of Chuckles in the shower and later on called him a pretty boy. I asked the writer if Zandar was gay and he said yes.
So there is at least one gay character in GI Joe.

Why is this a discussion? Toy companies should leave everything ambiguous, and let the person buying the toys decide that issue for themselves. It shouldn't be up to a toy company, or any company to introduce the topic to consumers. On the other hand, if a toy company decides to get involved in identity politics and introduce it in their products, they better be prepared for the consumer blowback and potential revenue losses.

There are plenty of gay/lgbt characters already in GI Joe. There is a very strong gay component to it clearly, just like in He-Man.

No way Lady Jaye is straight... no way, no chance. She and Flint are beards for the other. Fun fact though, Gong Ho is actually not gay. I know it's shocking

And this especially extends to Masters of the Universe... though I assume that every MOTU character is Pansexual. All those man/beast hybrids.

You can distinguish romance and sexuality in terms of priority as it relates to kids. Joes shouldn’t be fucking in kids’ cartoon- but having “crushes” or implied romantic relationships isn’t a big deal.

No mention of Gung Ho? Really? Hasn't that been the joke about him for like forever?
EDIT: Ok, someone mentioned Gung Ho, but he wasn't the first mention. I am disappointed in you all. |

An interesting topic for sure, I do not have a problem with there being more diversity as an adult collector. I guess it depends on what the target audience is for the various products. I could see it in the comics as it's mostly adults buying those these days. I think implied orientation works better than the less subtle approaches.
