Why would anyone think he would be?

Because usually when Hollywood includes a gay character they're doing it to villainize them, make fun of them, or show them off to cynically virtue-signal diversity. Having a character that's just a normal character who happens to be gay, without making a big deal about it or using it as a plot point, is rare.

I don't know if that's as true even in 2016 when the movie came out, as it once was.
