Yes, yes, yes! Richie getting a coming out arc would be a must, or maybe even have him out the whole time and have it really not be an issue with his friends. Either would be good. I can't think of a kids cartoon that's gone "out and gay" yet, but ground has been laid with other shows Legend of Korra (sort of) and Steven Universe (also sort of). So I think it could be time for a cartoon that has an American teenager be out or come out as gay. (Oh, and Virgil could be all "so what else is new now about that gadget" but ready to throw down if there are any phobes.)
Alas, no. I never did get into or really try Young Justice. I didn't know Virgil was in it though, but it wouldn't be the same without Richie or his fam.
