I, like many other's I've talked to/seen, would be more offended if there's a gay couple that feels forced than I would be if it never happens. I think this is why SQ is so popular with those who want to see a same-sex romance on the show. Emma and Regina are both prominent characters, which would avoid any charges of tokenism. And it would feel less forced because they already have a relationship that could, over time, evolve into a romance. Regina is a vulnerable person who is starved for love and is trying to become a better person. Emma is one of the few people who believes in her ability to change. They both share a love for their son Henry. And pairing them together wouldn't interfere with any of the established couples.
