Utter: I agree it would be nice to see a fully fleshed out LGBT couple, or even multiple, but I know Once is already juggling a ton of characters, so that's why I'm okay with even a little representation. Also, as much as "the butch lesbian" or "the campy gay man" are stereotypes, those types of lesbians and gay men do exist in real life, which is why it doesn't bother me if a show desides to use them. I see it as no different as "the dumb blonde" or "the hot nerd" or "the black thug", if that makes sense.

Esk: The reason I didn't start a new thread is because I think we already have several threads about this open already. If people want to keep discussing we can always go to one of those. Of course, if the LGBT couple is in 518 then I think it is fair to discuss it in that discussion thread (when it is opened) as well. I find no issue with that but I would find it better to not have the conversation end abruptly and continue elsewhere. Another LGBT thread can't hurt XD.

Oh, and stereotypes are never a good thing. Once has never done a dumb blonde or black thug and they don't need to start doing that now.
