I actually never shipped anyone on OUAT unless it was obvious and unless they actually had chemistry, like Snow & Charming and Rumbelle (not sure how I feel about Emma and Neal). I always pay attention to the storyline and character depth & development (which is why I'm weary about the Wonderland series...I hope it's worth all the hype...honestly, the preview didn't look too good, plus TVD and BBT comes on at the same time). As for Swan Queen, I was all over that when I first found out about it! I don't care that it's not gonna happen on the show, but I am bi so Regina x Emma is hot! But other than that, they don't have any chemistry (obviously...they're constantly meddling in each other's lives) and the storyline isn't set up like that so I don't know why people are so upset. There's plenty of other shows and lot's of movies depecting homosexuality. Also, going to Disney or something related to Disney to represent the LGBT community is a long stretch anyway since Disney and Disney-esque ventures have traditionally been more conservative. When have you ever seen an American fairytale or something similar address LGBT issues? We've seen them address racial issues, with Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahantas, Kida & Tiana, but as far as relationships, it's always been male-female. Fairytales were originally meant for adults but Disney turned it into the mindless fluff we know and love today.
