I don't know witch thread I should use.
I think the reason, why all of this CW Shows get canceled, has nothing to do, that they have gay characters. The reason is that the shows sucks as a whole, that they have not enough audience, the ratings are to low. And CW wants to sell the network, so to get a higher price, makes the financial books looking good, better is a normal process.
Yes a bit representations is better than nothing, but it was mostly also a bad representation.
Like Ben and Jed, I think that was a kind of scream for help, it come out of nowhere, I think behind they know that the show could be canceled, because of the bad ratings. They wanted with that to get more audience, but failed again, like so much on other cases, because of the bad writing. It was not a couple to root, ship for, especially how Ben was written, maybe it was also the actor, which could not play love feelings and betray, a darksite in the same time, so that the story that they maybe wanted to tell failed. I think they wanted to tell a story like a bad guy fell in love with a good guy and in the end the bad guy becomes good or decides for love. But failed in the implementation.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with gay characters. This article can explain why Legacies and all the other shows this year. The TLDR is that The CW never made a profit, and when its parent companies, Warners and CBS Studios, ended their deal with Netflix (because they want to promote their own streaming Paramount+ and HBOMAX) the shows no longer make financial sense to keep. They can't stream much of their cancelled shows because of the deal they made with Netflix and without streaming those shows they don't make any money. Also, they're selling the CW and all but 3 or the shows that they're keeping can be streamed on CWseed (because they weren't part of the Netflix deal) which makes the network more appealing to buyers. I think that sums it up, but if someone else thinks I missed something important feel free to explain it better! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-cw-cancellations-blame-streaming-but-also-its-unusual-corporate-structure-1235146038

Sad that the show was cancelled (although it was really not doing well in the ratings, so...). Considering how popular the pairing was in the fandom, I think it just shows that they should have had a couple like this much earlier in the series.
