But making them both gay - without them being in a relationship or otherwise connected - now, yes, a point is being made. Just as if they had both been African American, or Latino, or ... you name it. They are representing 'lobbyists' as a class, and there is no diversity. So one has to assume a point is being made.
You're essentially saying that if a play includes more than one character who isn't a straight white male, the playwright is undoubtedly trying to make some statement. I profoundly disagree.
Unless the point is that they're both gay and it doesn't matter. |
