It's 2017, when can we get a prominent LGBT character in the storyline?

Woah - what?! I am feeling like I must have missed something (I glaze over at times).

I was under the impression that they were just good friends?

Fair enough. It's open to interpretation. How about Bitter Snow and Yellow Moon? The two lalafell in the WVR questline? Wedge crushing on Tataru? Gerolt and Rowena (past lovers)? These are all pretty obvious. I don't see why those are not a problem but how dare someone suggest non-het or non-cis characters.

Not at all trying to offend as i have no issues with the community, but why must todays society always have this?
It seems like every movie, television show and now video games need it?

LGBT people exist in real life. We deserve representation in works of fiction. Get over it.
