One of the biggest challenges of telling queer stories in large IPs is the difficulty of doing so w/ a global audience, where in some regions it is (abhorrently) illegal to do so. A confirmed queer character or storyline could put coworkers in legal risk / actual physical danger.
Diff companies have different approaches. Some fragment their stories so a character is queer in core canon and primary expressions, but omits this for specific regions. But this creates a fractured continuity for different audiences and undermines the sense of character truth.
