I knew about the Dorothy thing and agree that it was smart to make her part of the LGBT relationship (plus the fact that Dorothy never has a canon sexuality in the source material), but I didn't even think about the fact that Little Red Riding Hood is a story about a sexual awakeing until you said it, and that is such a good point. They actually put a ton of thought into this pairing, which is awesome.
 * Moreover, while I was totally rooting for the Mulan Rouge ship, I’m ultimately glad they added Dorothy to the equation: it’s clearly a nod and tribute to the importance The Wizard Of Oz had for the LGBT community, as well as that of Judy Garland as a gay icon. This shows the writers didn’t just bash the thing in, but really treated the subject with depth and care. (Also, Red Riding Hood is a fairytale about sexual awakening, so that makes sense too). Well done, OUAT.
