As for the other stuff: I have ZERO problem with them bringing in a non-hetero romance; however I don’t think the first reciprocal relationship (not counting SleepingWarrior) should be the wicked witch who is stealing babies and killing people. Sorta sends the wrong message. Just like I didn’t want Felix to be in love with Pan and for them to be involved because they were being called demons and evil on screen. So from that perspective, I hope not.
Yeah, that! Considering that some people will unfortunately automatically demonise ANY same sex relationship, it wouldn’t exactly be a positive thing to portray anything about that relationship or the people involved as being dark or twisted or untrustworthy. It would give those people more ammo to not like it and talk smack about it. If they’re gonna do a same sex couple, they should be two noble people who are just perfect for each other and have an epic romance. A portrayal like that might actually have a shot at changing some homophobic attitudes, rather than adding fuel to the fire.
