Re: When gay characters die...

Ok, let's talk some specifics:

Rent: Love justifies a better ending, unless you're a feminine gay man, then you're dead at the start of Act 2.

Red Sonja: Classic example of the evil lesbian trope.

Freedom Ring: A gratuitously violent death at a time when the publisher was struggling to avoid sacrificing LGBT B-listers as plot fodder or keeping them out of production hell.

Deep Space Nine, Jadzia Dax: Probably doesn't qualify because Dax's bisexuality was brought out in a handful of episodes and shuffled back into subtext.

Mass Effect 3, various: Honestly the apocalyptic ending is the only one that makes sense as a conclusion to the series. For members of the crew to go the way of Beowulf has a certain satisfaction.

Dragon Age 2: That you can bring about the death of various companions is completely unrelated to their bisexuality.

To a similar degree, it doesn't bother me that Rose Quartz in Steven Universe is apparently dead.

You could even say Rose died because she wasn't gay enough. She died so the child she had with a man could be born.
