Rictor had to deal with his friend Guido not dealing with it gracefully, with an ex-girlfriend wondering if she'd done something wrong and with Shatterstar's own sexuality being less 'gay' or 'bi' and more 'yes, please, and more, and again!' Northstar's journey has been a bit of a jumble, and had more than it's fair share of after-school-special moments, but he deserves mention for being the first out of the closet, and to have had the most storylines and history.
Other characters on the list are either gay or bi because they said so once, and have never been / will never be seen in a relationship ('safe' gay), or seem predatory and asexual, only using sex with either gender as part of an agenda, or might be gay, but since other characters seem to be forbidden to ever react in any way to their sexuality, aren't really representative of anything other than 'people who live in a magical fantasy land where everyone in the world is 100% accepting and none of their friends or family have any awkward questions or feelings or doubts.'
