Locke & Key (2020)

Locke & Key features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the openly gay Scot Cavendish and the lesbian couple Erin and Ellie, whose identities are normalized and portrayed positively. However, the primary antagonist, Dodge, assumes the identity of a gay character (Gabe) to manipulate the protagonists, which introduces a problematic element of using a queer identity for deception, leading to a neutral overall impact.

The primary antagonist, Dodge, is a genderless entity in the source comics, but its main human manifestations were consistently male. In the show, Dodge's most prominent and initial human form is portrayed as female, which constitutes a gender swap for the character's primary on-screen presentation.

The show "Locke & Key" features several characters, such as Ellie Whedon, Scot Cavendish, and Jackie Veda, who were depicted as white in the original comic book series but are portrayed by actors of different races in the screen adaptation.
