Second, I hope they don't, if they're going to do it JUST to please some niche fans who want some godawful pairing. If it flows with the story, sure. And I certainly don't think it's fair to call the show "heteronormative". I'm sure there are gay couples in Storybrooke, they just don't happen to part of the main cast. I don't understand this huge push for a gay couple. It's unhealthy, and if we end up with a token gay couple, i will scream. It's insulting to the fans to give us something just because some people on the internet want it. I agree 100%. I am gay and although I wouldn't mind seeing a gay couple on OUAT, it shouldn't come from a place where the writers are just trying to appeal to certain demographics. To me it seems like a lot of shows nowadays include gay characters just so they can appeal to certain people and not to actually involve the gay characters in any interesting or important storylines. I find it much more offensive for a show to put in gay characters for these reasons, then a show having no gay characters, but not being opposed to the idea.
