The movie did it previously.

Fans of Power Rangers know that the first “official” LGBTQ representation was in the 2017 Power Rangers movie. The character Trini, played by Becky G, was implied as being LGBTQ but never truly outright stated in the movie (the director and cast would embrace the implication as such however).

It isn't though; this fandom is not representative of the entire globe and its population.

I perfectly understand what you’re saying. You try to downplay something great as not noteworthy because it "should be normal". It isn’t sadly, that's the problem. These little breakthroughs must be celebrated for what they are: Little breakthroughs. Because it is not normal to have LGBTQ+ people in a Tokusatsu show, it’s still an exception.

Because they are minorities that face way too much hate and pain simply for who they are? They need support. We can give it to them by being understanding, supportive and celebrating their victories. One day it will be normal. But until then, events such as these are "newsworthy".

It’s because of people making it exceptional that makes it not normal.

No, I'm pretty sure what makes it not normal are conservative people and bigots who call the LGBTQ+ community names, brand their way of life a "sin", politicians who don’t support their medical needs and fascists who hunt them down in the streets.

We don't isolate minorities for making their progress in society visible. We isolate them by ignoring them.
