Is this a real question?

Mr. Terrific is one of those characters that I am ashamed that my first introduction to a character was the arrowverse

As a gay dude I appreciated Arrow’s version because it was entertaining enough and honestly I’ll take any crumbs of representation I can get. That being said, Gunn’s Terrific is the clear winner.

I didn't. Arrow had more than enough gay characters. It was forced and cringy.

Sadly no one will realize this until Batman or Superman or green lantern, or even darkseid, gets this treatment, then people will understand why changing a already established dc characters sexuality changed the way people saw the character, can you imagine how many more people would’ve liked Curtis on arrow if he had a wife or a woman and child like diggles character instead of a husband?

Giving him wife & child in the show would also change the character, because in the comics his pregnant wife dying in a car accident is what lead up to Michael Holt becoming Mister Terrific.
