"Deviant" is technically a correct word to use the way William did. (Heterosexuality is the norm, therefore homosexuality {and bisexuality by extension} is deviant from it). Yes, the word has a very negative connotation, which William recognized and apologized for. He wasn't trying to insult anyone, it was a poor choice of words. If I had a dollar for everytime I've done that here, I'd be Dolly Parton rich XD I'd like to bring this back on topic.

I didn't find Ruby giving Dorothy TLK odd, or rushed romance, but I can see why others would. I think it depends on how you view TL. Is it the constant, unabashed passion you feel for the only person you're meant to spend your life with? Then yeah, the Ruby/Dorothy thing would feel rushed.

I don't see TL that way tho. It's love that is true. It's pure love. Like the love of a parent for their child, or a niece for her nephew. This, imo, extends to romance. Because if you only get one, (the huge passion idea) that's depressing. I mean, I'd say Regina had TL with Daniel, and he died. That sucks~ Regina was in love with Daniel and loved him deeply but I wouldn't say that was her true love. Regina and Robin were soulmates before they even met. He was always the one destined to be her True Love. And I do believe you only get one chance at True Love, but that doesn't mean you can only ever love one person. While there is no truer love than that between a parent and child, my thougt is True Love is only between soulmates, and even then takes time for both sides to know they have met their soulmate and for the True Love to develope. That's why Hook's kiss couldn't give Emma her memories back when they were in New York. She already had feelings for him but for her it hadn't become True Love yet.

The show made Red and Dorothy become each others True Love after one short conversation on a trip to pick flowers. They only spent like an hour alone and had only known each other for maybe a few hours before Dorothy got cursed. Most of that time was spent Dorothy being mad that Red let Toto get away and brewing a potion to stop Zelena. The two minute conversation they had looking for poppies was the only time they were bing friendly towards each other and even then neither showed sign of any type of flirting. Even when Snow and Charming were trying to steal from each otherr they were constantly flirting and showing signs of liking each other. Red and Dorothy never had those moments.

As for Red's sexual orientation I don't see her as bisexual or a lesbian, I have thought from the first time we met her that pansexual would fit her character and personality the best.
