Deadpool underwent a brief re-branding, posing as a romantic comedy with a lovely new poster. Some men decided to take advantage of this by "tricking" their girlfriends and wives into seeing it with them on Valentines day. To the surprise of no one, it turns out that most women who have not been hiding under a rock for a while know what the highly publicized comic book movie is about.

After a fair amount of build-up, DC Comics released their rebooted (and decidedly more fabulous) Green Lantern as the first openly gay superhero. Hilariously, the original alter-ego of the Green Lantern, Alan Scott, had an an allergy to wood that (equally hilariously) has been done away with upon his coming out.
The foundations of morality as we know it continue to hold, but I'm sure this is just the first step in bringing them crumbling down. Either that or this is just a byproduct of mainstreaming a completely acceptable way of life that will have little to no effect on the way straight people view their relationships. Good on you, DC.

Will this love story happen in the next films, maybe not. As to why this is trending, it seems like it has a lot to do with a lackluster love story in the most recent Captain America:Civil War. (WARNING: Mild spolier ahead?)
