Although I, personally, think that it would be nice to have an LGBTQ+ character on the show, I still would have to say no. Socially and politically, Fresh would be doing well, but it would most likely lack financially. While some countries, including the US, have no laws against gay marriage being shown on television, many countries would refuse to air any television show with such a character in their country, and losing a provider for that season, losing money. Coupled with "concerned parents,"  who believe that Fresh is trying to "corrupt" their children, it would not only lose money from the other countries, but it would decrease viewership from the children of the "concerned parents." Overall, it would be a great loss for Fresh in their financially.

By the way, and this is just my opinion, but I don't think that a show only needs a LGBTQ+ character played in the proper light to be considered a "mature show." But, again, that's just my opinion.
