Fun fact, Technically all the turtles are mixed races. Donnie as a soft shell is Japanese-American, Leo a red eared slider (who are actually mostly in WA state my home ^-^ near the puget sound) is a New York Washingtonian Japanese-American. Mikey as a box shell is Latino Japanese American and Raph is a Florida loving New Yorker Japanese American as a Snapper. And yes I did do eraser have for this topic lol. They are all mixed Japanese cuz Splinter is Japanese and they are a second generation American for the Hamato clan

For people so convinced Rise is straight, rainbow flag "to represent all of us" in Snow Day, Warren and Hypno sitting in a tree ep, one exec producer pushed for the two dads narrative while also having a web comic of that premise in space.

[@gothic_ace2037]

So I see all this arguing over is Leo straight, gay, bi, pan so I thought id throw in my 2 cents I think he's either demisexual or asexual because while there are moments of teasers where he's shown to show some form of interest in somebody be it Usagi or Karai, it's never in their body, it's always in their minds and abilities, he becomes intrigued/infatuated with how they match up to his own abilities as a warrior. He's looking for an equal who can match him slash for slash. This is my view of the 2003 Leo anyways (and maybe 2012? I honestly don't know, I only partly watched 2012 then life happened but 2012 did have similar vibes to 2003 only with more child like innocents) as for this Leo? I've not seen the show at all (just clips in videos people have posted) so I can not give a concrete opinion on this one but if he does turn out gay then cool, from what I've seen he has plenty of sass so it won't be too out of place.
