like its fully okay to say happy pride to Eddie Diaz bc what the fuck am i gonna do about it but you guys get why people might have an issue with that right? like its not coming from homophobes, its coming from other queer people who are tired of the whole "well he's gay to me" thing. it's like when someone asks who you're favorite female character is and you name a man. like sure yeah it's a little silly or whatever but you guys get why that sucks when you're trying to have a serious conversation about the way female characters are treated. it's the same thing for queer characters. sure headcanon this guy all you want but remember all of the canon queer characters come before him. obviously if the show decides to go forward with queer eddie then hell yeah! but it hasn't yet, they call him canonically cis-heterosexual and until anything else gets acknowledged by canon, he is not actually included in the queer characters list. like it's important to talk about hen, karen, josh, michael, david, eva, buck, and tommy wayyyyy before you start to mention eddie
