I think A&E only did the LGBT couple because of bad press with it's reputation of LGBT representation. That is why they were fine with suggesting Mulan was in love with Aurora and didn't bother continue the story because they were like "here is your gay, now live us alone."

And Swan Queen as a fanbase wanted not just a LGBT story, but one of two main female leads that have history and organic development. People don't want tokenism and scraps of characters that will come and go in 5 minutes.

I don't feel you that Regina/Emma, as it is written suffers like anything else on this show. I felt that pairing Regina with Hood derailed her redemption arc. The shame with Hook. How dare Regina tell Zelena that she shouldn't raise her child when Regina got 50 billion second chances? Lol. Ridiculous. Oh yeah, and Regina saying that Emma "ruin" her life when she was dating Hood for 4 days........Get out of here. Especially when Regina casting the curse is the reason why Emma had to grow up as an orphan that had to steal food. That scene made me so angry.

Poor Snow and Charming, they don't have to be the boring couple but as we seem to both agree, the writing of relationships leave much to be desired lol.
