I can't say this enough
Please consume QUEER Media if you want to see queer characters and relationships instead of going in spaces and demanding them. That's why Queer media exist.
"But most of them are porn! I don't like porn I wanna see pure relationships"
They do exist, if you know where to go. Heartstopper isn't porn if I remember correctly, it's pretty wholesome. And if you can't find them, ask for them. Or make them yourself if you have the talent to do so.
I like romances for example and most of the romances I've seen suck. But hey look at me now. I am working on my own series inspired by shonen and other series I watched. I didn't need validation i make my own and i go to spaces where I feel like this is for me.
Agreed, there are plenty of media for that audience even in anime and manga you have a whole genres for it Shounen Ai and Yuri so there are options for them if they want that kind of thing.
