Yep, we've got two more queer MCU characters who's queerness has yet to be seen on screen. Wiccan (who is canonically gay) and Speed (who is canonically bisexual) are Wanda and Vision's twin sons who grow up to become queer members of the superhero group Young Avengers.
There are already characters in the MCU who are part of the LGBTQ community in the comics. For instance, Ayo from Black Panther (and most recently The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) is a lesbian in the source material.
As the first major, openly gay character created by Marvel Comics, Northstar generated significant publicity in the mainstream press, and Alpha Flight #106 sold out in a week, although the series was not a very popular title.

Loki made his debut in the MCU way back in 2011 and has been a mainstay in the universe for a decade, and yet fans are only finding out now that he is bisexual. Loki is not the first queer character in the MCU and he won't be the last. Marvel has plans to introduce a gay superhero in a film this year.
Loki director Kate Herron says the kiss between Loki and Sylvie in the finale was actually genuine. The acclaimed series finished its 6 episode run on a high note, leaving many tantalizing questions to be answered in Season 2 (as well as the wider MCU in Phase 4).
Deadpool comic co-creator Fabian Nicieza has been dogged with the question for years, confirming back in 2015 that all fan theories about Deadpool's sexuality are accurate, because the character is constantly in flux. “He can be gay one minute, hetero the next, etc,” Nicieza wrote to a fan on Twitter. “ALL ARE VALID.”
WildStorm Productions introduced Midnighter and Apollo as an openly gay couple. DC introduced an openly lesbian Batwoman, Kate Kane, in 2006. As part of the New 52, Bunker was added to the roster of the Teen Titans and the Green Lantern of Earth 2, Alan Scott, was changed into a gay man.
Trivia. Currently, Gavin Grieve and Alistair Lowe are the only confirmed LGBTQ+ characters amongst the main characters in the series. This doesn't include Finley Blair's two mothers, and nor the Head of the Thorburns and their wife (all of whom are minor characters).

Moon Girl has outward LGBTQ representation. This includes Lunella's classmate, Tai, and living/A.I. supercomputer named LOS-307, which are both non-binary, and Brooklyn, an openly trans character.
Loki's history displays an always queered identity, but as Loki's queerness became more pertinent to the character's identity, there has been a shift away from harmful queer-coded stereotypes portrayed on the character.
In the comics from which the movie is adapted, Deadpool is pansexual – he makes no distinction between genders or gender identity in his choice of partners.
Deriving from being raised on the culture of her homeworld Tamaran, where it's acceptable to have open marriage, Starfire's sex-positivism and free-thinking habits such as a fondness for practicing nudism, openness to polygamous relationships and acceptance of "open sex" and pansexual "free-love" with persons ...
The first canonical DC Comics character to be on the asexual spectrum, Green Arrow's son Connor Hawke, is being celebrated in a gorgeous new Pride Month variant cover illustrated by the talented Luciano Vecchio for Green Arrow #3.

Falling in love with Sylvie, i.e. himself, is the only person he'll permit himself to fall for because he doesn't deserve anyone other than his own wretched self. But the more hopeful read on it is that, in falling for Sylvie, Loki is open to accepting and forgiving himself.

Loki star Tom Hiddleston is preparing to travel to the ultimate relationship alternate timeline: marriage. The Marvel actor and his partner, the actress and playwright Zawe Ashton, are engaged after three years of dating.
