Does this happen also when other shows bring lbgt representation? Depends. Hatred and bigotry exist everywhere and on a variety of topics. We don;t dicuss other shows here that much, but yes, the difference is Once is "a family" show to those particular people and I think that it's telling that they overlook murder, adultery, rape, and abuse yet LGBT shows up they are up in arms. Just stupidity because most of them forget those other portions. I hate that "family show" is an excuse. I consider Modern Family to be a family show and the fact that it has a gay couple doesn't make it less a family show.

This is the first time I ran into so much homophobic comments in a fandom. When other shows I have watched did gay relationship such as Buffy or Grey's Anatomy, the fandom was generally fine with it. I agree with you. The problem here is not OUAT, or the LGBT couple, it is the fandom x) Like a lot of times with this show, the problem is the fandom x)

I agree. Although, the dreaded Facebook page has some mad at ABC and the other shows that have better representation. I'd ignore the FB page usually because there are more casual fans that comment there.

This is a fandom that was terrible for a POC Rapunzel, so I wasn't surprised at the LGBT backlash because somehow those people were blind-sided by something hinted at. I mean, then again, some people think Mulan is straight, lol.
