Soldier: 76 was the perfect choice for a character to make gay, for the simple reason that he's not the stereotypical young, skinny, fabulous guy. He's an old man with a Clint Eastwood demeanor, and so it completely subverts expectations. This is also a reason I hope they never make Zarya out to be LGBT+, because people keep expecting her to be queer.
Of course, there's been a huge backlash from cishet bros complaining that 2/29 playable characters being gay is just because Overwatch is dying and Blizz wants to increase controversy, or that they're just making everyone gay as a fad, or raging that they took a character who's sexuality they assumed was hetero and suddenly made him gay. Funnily enough, they should have seen this coming, since there was the same picture of Jack and Vincent in the holiday comic two years back. It's the same one where Tracer was confirmed lesbian, and everyone was spending time with their families. Jack was looking forlornly at the picture. The implication was there all along.
