I'm honestly suprised there isn't a confirmed character (to my knowledge) that is LGBT, since they're usually shoehorned in or made clear in most media these days.
Eventually, I think it's going to happen due to social justice warriors throwing a fit. Which character do you think they'll establish as LGBT in the MCU?
Honestly, I think they will do this with the new Spider-Man.
I doubt we will see a LGBT character in a big budget superhero movies for a very long time. Hollywood isn't exactly pro-gay when it comes to movies that aren't specifically about a character being gay. And they certainly won't put one in a big summer blockbuster.

Or pro-Asians, pro-Middle Easterners, or pro-anything that isn't white or black. Still, there are movies being made starring gay characters. I'm sure there will be gay superhero characters eventually in main roles.

Eventually, yes. No way in the near future. Maybe in 20 years or so when people accept homosexuality as easily as they accept mixed raced marriage.

To be fair, even with interracial marriage, it's more between white males with other races, so it's not that widely accepted either, but the important keypoint is the movie needs to have international appeal, and despite how low the homosexual acceptance is in America, it's even worse in other countries. Having homosexual characters in leading roles may get the movie banned or have lower attendance from international audience.
@username12345: considering batmans relationships are relatively uknown, heck i cant name a single love interest for bruce wayne except catwoman, and spider-mans girls are often regarded as smoking hot, i can say spider-man wins this one
please name 1 love interest besides catwoman, without looking it up
( i already know youre gonna look it, so humor me)

@username12345 All of Batman's 'love interests' are just beards. Dick and Clark are the only ones who do it for him.
@poeticwarrior: As interracial marriage, I meant in real-life not the movies. No one protests mixed couples getting married anymore unlike all the opposition there still is to gay marriage. Hollywood still has some weird-ass racial prejudices that they really need to get over.
Yeah you are right about international acceptance. I think pro-gay movies will sell fine in western Europe, but most of the rest of the world would have a problem with it. That`s probably why Hollywood studios wouldn`t bet willing to drop $100 million on something that won`t make them a profit in the worldwide market.
