Well, from my perspective, if a LGBT character is introduced, then why? They need to be active in the plot or something strong for any reason to exist. Existing just because publicity or diversity would be doing it wrong. It should be more of a "Look at this developed character that happens to be gay" instead of "Look they had that one gay character that one time."

If they don't move the plot forward they are just filler, which is pretty much the logic they used to cast the rest out, except the others like Ruby, etc, actually had development.
