I don't think there is any evidence that the creators are homophobic. I do think it would be cowardly not to include it just because some of their viewers are homophobic, though. I just don't think the reason is that simple.

When I say people want more gay representation in media, I'm speaking for a lot of people, not just myself. As far as I am concerned, yes I want it, but I blame our culture more than any given writer. In a position like theirs, it's hard to do that with LoK - even if they wanted to.

nayrt

I think, though, that people want gay characters above and beyond what exists irl. Gays make up, at most, less than 20% of the world population. If you're trying to portray the real world or worlds that reflect the real world, you're not going to have five or six gay characters in the main cast. But then you have people getting mad about "token" gay characters. You can't win.

Well, you have a good point - no matter how they did it, some people would complain. But it's got to start somewhere.
