I never watched The 100 so IDK but how many characters on the show were actually LGBT? Were Clexa the only LGBT characters on the show?

Lexa was one of two canon lesbian characters they've had on the show. Clarke is bi, and there are also several queer men.

There were a few reasons Lexa's death was such a big deal:
- dead lesbian trope straight down to the ground
- Lexa was killed off in the stupidest manner imaginable literally minutes after having sex with Clarke for the first time, it was exploitative and cheap as fuck and it pissed everyone off
- rivalshipping between Clexa and Bellarke (a het ship involving protag Clarke and lead dude Bellamy) - no one comes out of this shipwar looking good tbh but obviously there was a lot of conflict on top of conflict once Clexa, Fucked
- Clexa was huge for the show, the fandom was massive and enthusiastic, and the showrunner was all over social media egging them on and encouraging Clexa shipping as this big draw for the show - all while the ship was doomed, because Lexa's actress had to be written off to go do another series - so the shippers cried bait. Fairly or not. But the showrunner JRoth and the way he dealt directly with the fandom (basically being a hugely wanky asshole himself) was a big part of the wank.

Clarke has had a relationship with another woman.
