I could keep going, but you get the point. There's no shortage of strong straight female leads. I can't list gay males, but thats because all the ones that come to mind are in open world RPG games were being gay straight, both, or neither is a choice the player can decide, so thats a bit of a grey area.

Never heard of the first one
Someone from a horrible disney movie most forget.
Good point. +1
A LOT of people want Elsa to be a gay icon since shes easily the biggest female icon atm. Shame Ana isn't seen on nearly as much merchandise.
Whos that again?
I guess, but females in superhero genres aren't in a good place at all and need lots of help. Starfire/Raven from the 2000s Teen Titans were the best I've seen ladies in that genre in the mainstream. 
See above
I'll take your word for it on the star wars stuff, I haven't seen them yet.
Dunno who the last two are.

So ~+3 is a little reassuring, but you gotta admit it is a very worrying trend when MALE gay characters aren't made nearly as well, as often, or given as much spotlight as the female ones. Wanna give me more names on both ends? If you don't wanna clog up the topic here you can just PM me them.

Just trying to not be super triggered and need some recent examples to counteract my point >.<.
