They did not confirm Mulan would be back simply to explore her sexuality. I mean, she's the most likely choice, being the only lesbian on the show, but still... You know what they say when you assume.

And even if the main purpose of Mulan's appearance is to explore her sexuality, there is no reason to believe that she won't have a compelling storyline which will complement the sexuality issues. Yes, Once has messed up such complex issues such as rape and adultery, but who's to say homosexuality will follow the same fate? Isn't Eddie Kitsis gay? I doubt he'd let his fellow writers mess up such storyline. Lol, I always thought Eddy was straight. Anyhow, the writers' orientation or gender doesn't mean anything in terms of writing.

And not to say they will mess it up, but since you mention those other things.....(Just imagine some stereotypical lesbian or worse--a relationship found on sexual assualt and promiscuity). It's that marketing-wise, it's "Gay. Gay! GAY! A lesbian character and a relationship"  when the story is more important to some fans than the marketing aspect. For example, Frozen was a marketing tool and I disliked that Frozen became a part of Once, but story-wise, it was totally fine (besides Anna hogging all the screentime.) So, some fans are wondering what role she'll take (we have a thread for that!), while the (pardon me!) "rabid" fans, or rather easily excited and shipping fans jump all over the prospect of a relationship.

So, to answer the thread question: Yes, there will be at least one other LGBT character and I bet all the marbles that it'll will only be Mulan's interest.
