don't mind me i'm thinking about how Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and Tom "Iceman" Kazansky are both CANONICALLY QUEER.
That's right folks, you read that correctly. I present to you the evidence:
Regarding Iceman, we all knew he was gay, because Val Kilmer himself literally confirmed it in an interview for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (he talked about his role as a gay character in the film and said that it wasn't his first; he admitted top gun was his first gay role.)
And for Maverick, the canon evidence was in the original Top Gun itself - in a scene that SO many people overlook. At the o-club scene, Goose tells Maverick when they're making a bet that Maverick "must have carnal knowledge, of a woman this time."
That line right there implies that Maverick has hit on people before that AREN'T women-- because if Maverick was completely straight, why would Goose need to specify that Maverick needs to hit on a woman this time?
The amount of queerness in this film AMAZES ME. And it's not subtle, quiet things only certain people can catch. ITS OUT THERE. So, with Mav and Ice being canonically queer, it's safe to assume Icemav actually had feelings for each other, from all of the very homoerotic scenes they had in the first movie and hell, even TGM.
Tldr: Iceman and Maverick are both canonically lgbt+ and Icemav is literally canon. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Batmans ranked by how likely they are to call someone the f slur
Adam West - Burt Ward Robin would half say it before West would cut him off and give him a lecture on the history on the lgbt community
Robert Pattinson - another socially conscious #ally with 2022 white lib sensibilities come now
George Clooney - rolling with the lgbt (dick) and also gay (as per George Clooneys iconic quote) he would NOT say it
Christian Bale - I don’t think he’s especially homophobic but it was the mid aughts. Maybe Batman isn’t necessarily saying it but Brucie Wayne is
Val Kilmer - I don’t think he’s homophobic either I just think anyone who had to deal with two face and the riddler being like that would be driven to saying it
Ben Affleck - Ben Affleck.
