The rest of the characters were ostensibly straight, but all the actors said they were comfortable with the thought of their characters organism LGBTQ+ as well and supported and encouraged headcanons.

This was a goofy family who had the best time and got up to the silliest stuff. It’s so joyful and a great antidote to serious, heterosexual superhero stuff." —garebehrPeople Are Sharing Their Favorite LGBTQ+ TV Shows Of All Time And, Wow, I Have A Lot To Watch
