I read in a different forum a theory that they planned to do the story with Mulan instead of Dorothy, but Disney probably prohibited it. That's why there was a last minute introduction of Dorothy's character and why it felt so rushed.

When you think about it, it makes sense since there were a lot of signs in 509 and Mulan's implied sexuality, it seemed like they built towards the couple being Ruby and Mulan. Moreover, it explains why Mulan was so irrelevant in 518.

If that's the case then I fear that Mulan is going to be either forgotten or her sexuality will be retconned (and they can do that cause they never specifically said she was gay).

As for other LGBT relationship, I don't think A&E have the courage to pull that off again and I believe that if they hadn't announced it, they might have not done that in the first place.
