Do you think there should be seperate standards for portraying gay characters than ther are for straight characters? If no, you should have no problem with gay characters in Star Wars. If yes, you have a problem with gay characters. Simple question.

Nope. Hence why a character being gay or straight shouldn't be in the open a star wars film. Straight characters in general don't really annouce who they tend to sleep with. That should be the same with gay characters but we wouldn't know they were gay unless it was pointed out in the movie or story. Then again, that wouldn't be treating them like the straight characters if they did point out their sexuality.

Not exactly what I was asking, but let's go with it anyway.
No, there are no Star Wars characters who scream out "I'M STRAIGHT". But there are Star Wars characters who freely and openly state of show their attraction to the opposite sex. Like for instance... Luke Skywalker... and Princess Leia... and Han Solo... and Anakin Skywalker... and Queen Amadala... and Jar Jar Binks...and Lando... and Jaba The Hut... and Uncle Owen... and pretty much all the main characters aside from asexual droids or celibate jedi.
There are many openly straight characters in the movies. So, if you think they should not be portrayed differently, then there is no reason why there shouldn't be openly gay characters as well.
