It is possible to be with a man, then be with a woman. Ruby might be bisexual. She may have later (after Peter) decided that she wants to identify herself as a lesbian. It's unfair to look at someone and base their sexuality on one past relationship, real person or not XD It's unfair to do it to a character so suddenly and with no development, unlike Callie from Grey's Anatomy or Willow from Buffy.

The thing that bothers me is that they don't think if it is a good development for Ruby's character cause we probably aren't going to see her or the gay couple after that episode. They just want a token gay couple so people would not call them homophobes. Well, I don't think that's exactly true. Red, Mulan, and Dorothy are all recurring characters, and have potential to continue to recur on the show in the future. I could see the couple (whoever it winds up being) appearing a few times a season at least. So, 2 times, lol.

I guess we'd have to rework how things seemingly happen on Once. Mulan Rouge and Toto there are recurring for a coupke of reasons and one if the LGBT storyline. Once it is done I'm sure it will be done and gone. That's if you go by Once's track record. I feel that it's more forced than not. If I was the general audience (who don't read all the interviews and stuff), I'd think two things:

1. Why are these ladies randomly popping up? Cool to see them though

2. What LGBT storyline? I thought Mulan was straight...or something.

The major desire is if they are actually apart of the plot and not some side story. So far, everything says side story. Maybe if Red was still a series regular then I could buy that, but currently they are recurring guest starts leeching away screentime becausde they have to and it doesn't feel organic because we haven't been in Red's head since season 2.
