I'm totally buying that Mal & Briar Rose headcanon.

Side note, I think if we're getting more LGBT characters, it will possibly be on some Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. Say what you will about the writers, but they really did their homework on Ruby Slippers (I mean, with picking up Red and Dorothy based on their respective tale meaning and impact on the LGBT community; the rushed execution is another matter). There is a certain consent among scholars about HCA having been a strongly closeted homosexual and that pouring into his fairy tales, so that would be a good choice. Or, since we're getting more into classic literature, Wilde's production could give tons of stuff to work with.
