RITO question about Varus's new story

How come You decided to make him gay?

I think this is a questions we all want to hear,whetever we dislike or like the new lore.What inspired the idea? They're many champions that didn't have their sexuality explored or confirmed,what was the reason/s for the change? I'm kinda wondering.

They didnt make him gay..... They introduced a gay couple in the comics which is about how they released Varus from his tomb. They made Varus into a Darkin

Someone said, in a RollingStone interview they talked about how it is important to be diverse and open to LGBT. But I have no source for that.

It is something they could have added to the story. But they didn't, just accept that they love each other. (something love is blind doesn't matter why)

Why not? Does it matter? It certainly shouldn't matter. Personally I think Valmar and Kai are cute, and that's reason enough for me.

Ultimately no, it does not matter. But if it was done for political reasons, that is pretty shallow to do. I would hope they have a real reason. If it was just flavor of the month, then ok. But if they are trying to send a message, I don't think this is the platform.

Honestly, I think that "sending a message" is exactly what needs NOT to happen. The only way to advance the LGBTQ cause is to stop treating it as one. Don't make a champion gay because "diversity". Make them gay because why the fuck not.

I agree. The problem is the question will always be brought up =\ because people on both sides are too vocal about it (although honestly I think one side is more vocal).

But we are getting a bit politcal then.

How do you know Varus (Valmar and Kai) weren't made gay cause ytfn?,but how do you know the difference?This seems like rather something subjective,until it's confirmed by RITO.
