"he seems straight because he only seems to flirt with female characters".

Why "he", thoughy? She could be a trans girl. Should we use they for every character? Just in case.

Why, if the character refers to their own gender and the other characters refer to the character's gender? I'm certain plenty of characters have room for trans headcanons that also do not blatantly contradict canon, not to mention characters that are specifically written as ambiguous. There's hardly anything wrong with complying with the pronouns a character uses or is referred to in canon, though, for the obvious sake of grammatical convention. That's not a good argument against non-straight sexuality interpretations, if that's what you're trying to do.

They could be in the closet regarding their gender and other characters could be misgendering them. Can you prove it's not the case here? I don't think Lance ever stated they are a cis boy.

Gender presentation feels like a much more specific thing in terms of fictional characters and identity than sexual orientation, but I'm not sure exactly why it seems that way.

I think maybe it's because gender and gender presentation is presentational in a sense that sexual identity isn't?

But that's just a quick thought I haven't thought it through and wouldn't swear to it

DA

You could say that, but social pressures exist to make people present a certain way too even if they'd rather not...
