I’m only asking cuz all the examples I can think of off the top of my head at least, regarding recent LGBT+ characters/representation (Steven Universe, She-Ra, Owl House, etc.), all coincidentally involve gay/bi women. I’m having a much harder time thinking of any gay/bi men.

I hope you know what I’m getting at and I’m not coming off as a “WHERE’S WHITE/STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH?!” guy.

Not many in popular media. I can think of a few european shows, Versailles accurately displayed the Duc d’Orleans as gay and gender non-conforming. The Nevers (which was Joss Whedon’s new show but is now run by a woman who is responsible for a good chunk of the plots Whedon is hailed for.) has a number of male gay/bi and neurodivergent characters (and is actually a decent show especially after Whedon’s hand grows less influential.)
