‘ONCE UPON A TIME’ REVEALS GAY STORYLE; CREATORS SAY “LOVE IS LOVE”
This is a list of LGBTQ+ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer) characters on ABC's Once Upon a Time. Commentg on the reveal that the relatnship would exist between Dorothy and Ruby Red (not Mulan, the show’s first openly gay character) Edward Ksis and Adam Horowz said to EW, “This past Sunday’s episo was jt another example of how a fairy tale, as life, love is love. 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. When Douglas's father grew spic about their relatnship, he lnched a mpaign agast Wil that eventually led to his arrt on grounds of gross cency ( for beg gay) and was sentenced to two years Wil was released, the two tried to rekdle their love, only to be forced apart by their fai, who threatened to whhold funds. Viewers were pleasantly surprised when Mulan stead began to fall love wh Aurora, as gave fans hope for a gay Disney uple.
