(Your comment sounds like it is written by an undercover bigoted or internalized-homophobic person, honestly.) …Let's just embrace our community of really great and deserving people. Having more LGBT people on television is helping to show that gay people are good people too it is not pushing anything. ….It always helps a cold heart to warm up to 'different' people by becoming familiar with them. Bigots are taught to hate, but they decide to stay that way. I just decided to be a good person." Not all mom and pop people are angered by our existence. When asked how she didn't become a close-minded older person, she said, "That's easy. My grandmother is in her 80s, and she is extremely open minded and kind toward al minorities. Nothing is being pushed on anybody! We should not live our lives hiding from bigoted "mom & pop America" and letting them continue to feel justified in being pissed that we exist. By putting a gay character into a television show, there is nothing pushed onto people it is simply representing more diversity. The only agenda that I have is for all good hearted people to be treated with respect, fairness and kindness. I don't know what agenda you are trying to push on people, but please do not put our entire community into that statement. For me, I dislike the Mulan outing not because of the "gayness," but because it didn't work logically. If you don't do this, which is what happened with Mulan, it just doesn't work. And that could be as simple as showing that she had an attraction to another girl sometime in the past. If any of the others, say Belle for example, were to be outed, more explanation would be necessary to make it logical. If you're going to do something like this, these are the characters where it works best. There's no male connection in the real story, nor in the one presented here. Plus, there was no real trend in her personal story toward anyone in particular. We know she ate one boyfriend once, and there's not been anyone else since. There's still a lot about her that we don't know. There's nothing in her past that precludes such a connection to Aurora, except that it wasn't the way the story was naturally going. The implication was that she spent so much time with Philip before even meeting Aurora that she was attracted to him. When Aurora awakens and she renews her relationship with Philip, the connection to Aurora didn't seem clear to me at all. They set her up working with Philip and staying with him so much that the implication was that she wanted him. I don't say that because I think it's bad for her to be gay. With that said, i personally think Mulan was not done well. New information works when it doesn't overwrite anything we already know.
I say that because the lack of anything definite makes any revelation possible. It can work if has no established love interest or the past is somewhat in question. The "gaying" of a character is one thing.
It wasn't like the last episode of Grim where someone loses their head. Okay, so maybe the writing is not as imaginative as I would like for I still like to be shocked. But he gets mad at me since I usually predict what happens 110% of the time sometimes weeks in advance. My friend Jay and I text during the broadcast every Sunday and maybe that has something to do with why I watch. The writing, acting, and visuals are pleasing and the show has just become one of my guilty pleasures. I plan on going back again if another trip to the Northwest occurs. Steveston, a small quaint town just south of Vancouver, is Storybrooke, Maine, once the shops change some of their external facades and the geeks add in a coupe of CGI tricks like creating the library clock tower that doesn't exist in real life over the real life Steveston fishing shop. I am such a fan that I worked in a visit to Steveston, British Columbia as part of my April 2014 vacation to the Northwest for my 40th birthday celebration. Once Upon A Time has been a part of my Sunday nights since it debuted on October 23, 2011.
