Actually, we already have two openly gay characters in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Peter's boss at Horizon Labs, Max Modell, and his partner, Hector. We just treat it like an everyday thing. Which it is. From my P.O.V. there was no real need for Max to "come out" or to make an issue out of his sexual orientation. In Spidey's world, Max is a Steve Jobs/Bill Gates level celebrity. So everyone already knows about it.
