What "overly pro-gay agenda"?

The tiny minority of gay characters that appear on the show are either secondary characters (Ethan) or supporting characters of secondary characters (Danny, Mason)! Otherwise there really has negligible gay content on the show, especially as compared to the amount of heterosexual content.

You may notice the gay thing more because the majority of times Danny has appeared it has been part of a gay-themed JOKE (which a lot of us find VERY offensive). But otherwise what you are experiencing is a common psychological phenomenon. Because heterosexuality is very common in media, most people do not notice, think about or comment on it. There is nothing noteworthy about Scott kissing Allison or Kira for example. So nobody (except maybe really conservative religious people) consider it to be a demonstration of "sexuality". It's just "normal" content for a TV show.

In contrast, any mention of homosexuality is considered to be a mention of "sexuality", even in a non-sexual context. Because a majority of TV shows have no LGBT characters at all, a lot of people perceive the mere presence of such to be part of an "agenda", as though such people do not actually exist in the real world.

Meanwhile, actual gay fans are increasingly fed up with TW because of the fact that the gay characters on this show, who are not even close to being main characters, are pretty blatantly there to draw gay viewers.
