Agreed.

Though obviously I'm not happy to hear about the homophobia surrounding this, I'm also not happy that they were seemingly making a huge and ridiculous change to the show. Though who knows what is really true here.

But this does seem like just another example of "have the opponents read the script or done any research on the show?" Of course not. They've decided it's about "turning people gay" without any actual facts to support that. Typical, but shameful.
