Maybe put in some queer relationships that aren't for plot, but just background?

I mean I'm assuming that you have some background canon het couples that are just assumed, because the main characters had to come from somewhere? (unless it's something like they're video game characters that spawned from nothingness or otherwise fantasy method of non-sexual reproduction/creation) so add in some canon queer ones too. One of your side characters was raised by her two dads. Someone else was adopted because while their parents are straight their mom was DMAB. The couple that your subtly-hintingly lesbian barista is serving coffee to are two black guys.

You don't have to write about explicitly queer relationships, but you also don't have to assume every side character is automatically straight either.

Believe me, while it's nice to be the protagonist, sometimes it's nice to just get a subtle shout out, and then you don't get the NO HOMO vibe where the protagonists couldn't possibly be really queer, because queerness doesn't appear to exist in universe.

There aren't any side characters. It's just one group in a ghost town.

So that one group in a ghost town has no parents, no siblings, no outside friends, no uncles or aunts? They're the only beings that have ever existed or will ever exist? That's kind of weird writing.
