I agree that there needs to be gay characters, but it doesn't need to be heard everywhere. The main reason people are complaining about Ana Bray is because every comic made about Warmind had something about her and her wife/girlfriend. As the OP said, it felt forced. Like they were trying to scream at people saying, "ANA BRAY IS GAY BECAUSE BEING GAY IS OKAY!." It's definitely a good message, but it feels unnecessarily talked about to the point where it's ridiculous. It's very likely that some people are homophobic specifically because of things like this. If you try to force a fact about something into someone's head, there's a good chance it'll backfire and cause them to think oppositely. I personally think they should've made Ana more like Devrim. He's gay, but Bungie isn't constantly screaming about it at the top of their lungs. He also has other traits that make him who he is. Being gay is part of his character, but not his whole character. Ana Bray on the other hand feels hollow. There's very little character put into her inside the game. The only real story about her is in the comics, but those are completely smothered in her love life. That's where the problem comes in.
