Having an LBGT character JUST for the sake of having one would be a terrible idea. He or She would likely end up stereotyped and make a lot of people mad like they did with Mike, only 100 times worse. Plus, the reason there isn't one to be confirmed in-show is because there are LAWS against showing stuff like this in certain countries. Getting a show banned or HEAVILY edited by broadcasters in other countries isn't worth it. As Christine said, the show isn't made to push opinions. It's made to get money to make more shows. If the most they can do is "confirm" stuff behind the scenes without putting it in the show, then so be it.

And when was it ever said that TDRR would cater to an older audience? That refers to fans of older seasons, not adults and older teens. It's the reason why Geoff and Noah, two characters with old followings dating back to episode one of TDI, are in. The show has always been for kids, but was made to be enjoyed by anyone.
