And the macho-Americana right-wing fantasy that Supernatural is, is where you expect to find this non-stereotypical main gay character?

Good luck with that.

Nope, I expect nothing. I don't personally watch Supernatural anymore, but criticizing slash because "you should focus on the existing gay characters" when there are no gay characters to speak of? Is stupid.

But if you want a better example than right-wing Supernatural, Teen Wolf has a gay side character who shows up periodically. Every time he shows up, it's to highlight the fact that he's gay--dancing in a gay club, checking out one of the main characters, exercising technical know how (while saying that XY character isn't his type), flirting with some dude, complaining about an ex, etc. Three seasons and we know almost nothing about him, except that he's gay. For obvious reasons, people would rather write about the main characters or more developed side characters, and that includes writing some of them as gay/bi/pan.

I have the impression the OP was not talking about slashing and fandom; they were talking about fans who insist fandom aspects are part of canon, and act like that's a matter of fact, as, for example, taking it up to actors at cons. And THEN accuse said actors of homophobia when they state "no, so-and-so character is straight".
