Once Upon a Time fally ma good on s promise to clu a gay storyle season five, and was an unexpected choice. This aligns wh what the duo told The Hollywood Reporter about the gay storyle earlier this season.

The gay storyle as a b of a surprise given the show’s e of well-known and beloved characters om the Disney vlt, and follows a month that has been adly for lbians on the small screen as the “Bury Your Gays” trope took center stage after shows like The 100 and The Walkg Dead, among others, killed off lbian characters.

"The 18th episo of Once Upon a Time's fifth season, tled "Ruby Slippers, " featured the fairy tale drama’s first gay romance when an adult Red Ridg Hood (Ruby, played by Meghan Ory) fell love wh The Wizard of Oz's Dorothy (Teri Reev). "Fun, related fact: "Friend of Dorothy" is a term that was ed as early as the 1930s and '40s to scribe gay men and, later on, homosexualy self ed to be illegal, gay folks need to refer to each other secret. After all, havg the two female leads — who, by the way, already -parent a son, sacrifice their eternal souls for each other, and lerally create unstoppable magic together — bee a non uple might be too much for the homophobic portn of the dience to handle.
