Thanks for the question!

I haven't really thought about that, on one side it would be a shame to not include those characters that have been around for more than 50 years and have large fanbases and are cannonically LGBT+ in the comics. On the other side, a lot of the time, comic characters are adapted very differently for shows/movies like Jon Kent (DC Comics) for example, even if we leave his sexuality out of it, the character in Superman & Lois has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart, except his name and being Clark & Lois' son).

So for now, I think it would be better to treat different media/adaptations as different characters and stick only to the cannonically gay version of the characters.

Sounds good! And very true! I think one of the reasons why I like the comic adaptations is because they can be different (from slight changes, to major ones) of their original design. And comics flex so much throughout the years so I love picking/choosing what canon to look at.
