Cool, but execs still fight “different”, don’t they! Wish they would grow a pair and honor the chemistry between these characters and give their romance a REAL chance. It’s a compelling and incredible story line. It could also be a major spark that stokes the flame of ratings, again! As an aside, I don’t buy that the kid thing or a fancy lab would be a dealbreaker. Heteronormative people devalue relationships all the time in real life, but on the show, we get to see the better side of the majority of these relationships. Who’s to say that these characters wouldn’t do better? Who’s to say they wouldn’t fight for a chance to see what they become? Seems I remember a White House job offer interfering with a relationship as a plot line. They were straight and chose their family. They found a way to make it work. They gave us hope. But now, it seems that “different” has to be treated like “less” and in simple terms, we deserve better!
