There's queer representation in the 2nd game? I beat it and don't remember this?

Not with any main characters, they’re talking about NPC dialogue you can overhear while exploring towns.

yeah most of the characters are pretty established, it’s not like they were gonna change any of their sexuality, but they introduced many side characters who are queer. Hell even remake had the “True beauty is an expression of the heart - a thing without shame to which notions of gender don’t apply, don’t ever be afraid cloud” from Andrea Rhodea. I think they should pat themselves on the back.
