These tiny moments of representation don't hold a candle to the Arrowverse. Not only did their subtle allusion to would-be princesses or princes disappoint viewers, but Loki later seemed to outright contradict the character's genderfluidity by cracking a joke at the unlikelihood of a female Loki variant. Yet, this promise boiled down to a single conversation he had with his female variant Sylvie, in which they both admitted to being interested in more than one gender. Loki is bisexual and genderfluid in the comics, and many LGBTQ+ viewers were excited by the promise that Loki would explore its lead's queerness. The only other openly queer characters were Kate's LARPer friend Wendy Conrad, who mentioned having a wife in a throwaway line in Hawkeye, and Loki from his own Disney+ series.
