I'm not sure if you are calling Disney itself or the fans a cult.

, I wasn't saying they can't complain about this being in an MCU film. They certainly can. I'm just questioning their stance about their day to day life. I was expecting them to say something about their real life situation, not just about the internet. Obviously if they want to be informed about films that contain gay or transexual characters so that they can avoid them than they should stay subscribed or keep visiting the sources that provide this information. If the gay character at the start of Endgame and lesbo kiss in RoS doesn't trigger them and they don't give a shit about those scenes they should avoid websites that talk about these things for click bait and hits. Sites that talk about these scenes (negatively or positively) generally make a bigger deal about them than there should be.
Seriously though, if the topic of gay/tran characters is that depressing to your mental state it's not worth seeking out those types of sources. If you steer clear of that shit you'll only see it in about 2-5 movies a year. You'll be depressed and annoyed 2-5 times within the year rather than 365 days a year.
As for the actual topic on hand, there is no further information to really make any clear thoughts. As @manybyte mentioned, only Eternals is currently filming, Shang Chi in early 2020. For all we know, if there is a transexual character, it could be a character with shape shifting powers, they were born a male and decided to shape shift and stay as female, it might be a character who is in the film for 5 minutes. I'm not aware of any actual trans characters in Marvel comics to be honest apart from Loki.
There is definitely a gay character in the film though and I'm fine with it in Eternals, they have been around for thousands of years and have interacted with thousands of alien species no doubt. Who cares if they are fucking another alien race or someone of the same sex of their own race. I'm also ok with it in Eternals as even the vast comic community doesn't know about the Eternals that much. For anyone that does love and know the Eternals, they obviously have every right to be annoyed at the changes that are being made in the film.
Some openly gay characters in the comics will no doubt be coming to the MCU at some point. Characters like Hulkling, Wiccan, Northstar and Iceman.
As long as Feige doesn't try to change well known hetero characters into gay characters I am happy.
Iceman is actually a weird scenario for myself, he has been hetero for the vast majority of his publishing time. If we use real life time line it's not a big issue for Iceman to come out as gay. Many people in real life have lived through the 1960's. 1970's and 1980's as gay but led hetero lives and only came out in their 50's and 60's. If we look at the Marvel comics time line itself though, a sliding time line, it's harder for me to comprehend this sudden change in sexuality for Iceman.
