To me, my X-men...
If Hickman ends his run on Avengers without outing his mysterious "LGBT Avenger"... HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

Agreed. Because I liked them both as characters, I didn't mind the pairing; but I'm not bothered they are no longer together either.
How I read Marvel Boy in this is he's questioning, rather than necessarily LGBTQ. He might have screwed around with a few guys but he doesn't define himself with that as a sexuality.
So that's three, at least in my opinion. I wouldn't be outside his character, but I see him as much more of a ladies man. Bisexual, with predominant attraction to females? Maybe, but Gillen left what was said in that last issue loose rather than "I am gay." "I am pan." etc.
I love the idea of America going on a date with a girl where her date can just be like "You're a superhero?" "Yeah." "Oh my God just get down with me now ACHJDS#FG;D *fangirls* THIS IS AMAZING". The exclusive club of superhero-superhero relationships is just, I don't know, a little too exclusive.

He made gay jokes until he pissed off Anole enough to throw him out a window. He then proceeded to out Victor to the rest of the student body, that's not "helping" him to come out that's forcing him out of the closet. Alani already knew but some of the other students didn't and it should have been up to Victor if and when he wanted to come out to them. Notice how Victor threatened to kill Rockslide in that scene, he was completely out of line.
The only time we've seen Rockslide encourage Anole to date was when he hamfisted tried to set him up with Striker (who wasn't even his type). And even in that issue Anole said that Santo tried to set him up with any gay guy whether or not Anole was attracted to him at all. "You're both gay you should date". (Of course that's the kind of Straight people logic that set up Karolina Dean and Julie Power, they both like girls and they fly with rainbows, that's literally the extent of depth of their relationship.)
I'm not saying that Rockslide doesn't have good intentions or is a horrible person, but he's a shitty ally. And Allies shouldn't invade queer spaces in the first place.
I get the feeling that PAD is writing her as, essentially, not having an actual gender. She's a machine based on alien technology. She has no objections to people referring to her as female, but I don't think she, herself, has any particular gender identification. As such, she likewise doesn't much care about the gender of anyone she may have sex with.
Mighty Avengers is not a black Avengers team. It is a minority-majority Avengers team. There's a difference.
Rockslide didn't "help" Anole come out. He flat-out declared that Anole was gay, without Anole's permission. And everyone else already knew it anyway.
