In my opinion, it will be only forced.

Oh, what's this? A LGBTQ person?! Better make them be happy or else!

That is focusing on it and forcing the writers' hand. A LGBTQ person is a person, like any other person. They don't deserve to have happy endings anymore than anyone esle does. If someone thinks that one LGBTQ person on a show had not received their happy ending, when tons of people didn't, then they need to step back into reality.

TV shows and other media don't always reflect reality and what is true. Love works out sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. It's one of the reasons I wanted Rumbelle to fall apart, to show that sometimes love isn't enough. Love doesn't always mean a victory. It doesn't always mean the most ideal ending either.

Tell me. What was Marian's happy ending? Oh, right! She's dead and discgraced by her murderer and now she's dead while her husband loves the evil tyrant that imprisoned her and she doesn't get to see her son grow up. Tell me how is that happiness.

Tell me how Lancelot is happy when he was presumably murdered or at least taken for a guise by an evil witch and loves his king's wife. Is love winning there? What about Sidney who loves his queen, Regina, so much? He has been met with betrayal, imprisonment, and tragedy. Is he happy? Has he found his love in Regina? Nope, but I'm sure he's just fine. Rapunzel and Ursula lost their loved ones and that can't ever be fixed.

Is the show saying that persons of color can't find happiness? No, it isn't. Does this make me feel that POCS can't find happiness? No. Should the writers have focused and made all them have happy endings? No.

It may be a fairytale and fantasy show, but one of their elements is that it's in the real world and the real world doesn't always give you what you want.

I could even say the same thing from POCs to old people. I mean I'm sure Rumple is so happy with the death of his son. Or George with the loss of his wife and son and betrayal by David and left in the mines? Or The Sultan who was magically made to love his son just to feel the harshness of betrayal? Or Johanna to be the pawn of Snow's misery? Or Leopoild to be amidst Regina's plans? Or Henry Sr. who only wanted his daughter to be happy?
