Okay, I have a lesbian family member I love dearly, and many homosexual friends. But that doesn’t mean I agree with their lifestyles. You CAN love and get along with people without agreeing on everything. I know people are going to yell “homophobic” or “closed-minded”, but frankly the people who yell that are ones who are not demonstrating tolerance for other people’s belief systems. Just because I don’t agree with the lifestyle doesn’t make me homophobic (afraid of gays? Really?), and it doesn’t mean I hate or shun people. So stop calling people “homophobic” as an argument instead of having a real discussion. (Similar to a grade school kid calling another “stupid” because they can’t come up with a legitimate point.)
That being said: I would rather see A-Net leave out the romance, or keep it more implied, as they did with Caithe. As least give those of us who don’t want to see digital smooches (lesbian or otherwise) the option to skip the cinematic.
