Plus the mantle of Guardian has been held by many random characters. Why can't it be Jimmy Olsen this time? Also the whole black thing happened with Iris too and nobody complained there. Two things:

1. Wasn't the whole argument here with you basically implying that Supergirl can't be gay because she was never gay in the comics? If so, then why use an argument that completely contradicts what you were saying?

2. Believe me, a LOT of people complained about both Iris and James' race. And you know exactly which people those were. Look, i have no problem with gay characters. My favourite that DC did is Maggie and Batwoman. (sadly it will probably not happen on the show) However this version of Kara Zor-El is clearly a straight character. Fans even shipped her with Cat Grant last season and that had a whole other issue. (them being years apart in age) Lena Luthor we do not know because i don't think they really care about giving her a love interest. However in the comics her character is straight and even made out with Batman.
