but they’ll take the credit for being “bold” and pushing an LGBT narrative

Some shows who have had better LGBT representation than OUAT include;

3 cartoons aimed at kids (Legend of Korra, Adventure Time, Steven Universe), along with one of the silliest, most outlandish, and intellectually bankrupt family shows, in what is quite possibly the entire universe -Doctor Who has a cannon married, inter-species, lesbian couple.

Edit: How could I have forgotten Glee?! The same network that owns FOX NEWS(!!!) had a show that was literally shooting gays out of a cannon at us in every episode. There were gay characters, lesbian characters, bisexual characters, and at least one trans character. It apparently even had a lesbian wedding in one of the last two seasons (which I haven’t watched yet)?

So if the writers are taking any sort of credit for anything LGBT-representation related then it better be their complete lack of it, and the fact that they are obviously ‘queer baiting’ a large portion of their fanbase!!!
