More than likely the LGBT characters are going to be Mulan/Ruby. So they will spend 5 minutes building the relationship, will be isolated from the main cast, have some weird explanation about where they were all this time, and will disappear.

A&E were more than likely pushed to do this tokenism because of criticism from media about the lack of representation of gay characters. It is season 5 and NOW they want to do it?

Thee were set rumors that an ABC executive was present in Vancouver to look over filming of the episode that will introduce the couple because they don't want A&E to screw it up. ABC is the same channel that just recently had a Golden Globe to go towards an actress playing a black, middle age, bisexual character (How To Get Away With Murder).

OUAT has constantly been accused of being exclusive of POC characters, sexist, and homophobic. Now we got a black Merlin, Portuguese Guinvere, Lancelot is back, and now have an LGBT character. More than two POCs characters regularly in one season??? Say what???? This is unheard of in OUAT, lololol. I just think this is just something to cleanse their hands, pat their backs so they can appear as progressive (rolls eyes). I personally have low expectations. OUAT just doesn't do a good job in the romance department, gay or straight, lol. This is just my opinion.
