I'm not sure if it's the same thing you're talking about but this reminded me that while I enjoyed both canon gay couples in Sense8, it really annoyed me that Lito and Nomi were the only ones who were given long-term partners outside of the cluster, and both of the romances that developed inside the cluster - ie between the main characters - were straight.

I liked Sense8 a lot, but you're right, and I also felt like both of their relationships were so centered on the fact that they were queer. Nomi at least had her own storyline separate from her sexuality and was a really involved player in the plot, but Lito's storyline, basically through the end, was just about his gayness, being in the closet, and having to come out in order to keep his partner. I didn't mind his storyline inherently (mostly because the series seemed so interested in the characters' "normal life" drama which dominated even before any real sci-fi took place), except that he hardly got anything else at all besides his gayness. I hope the second season allows Lito to work more outside of the well-worn "coming out" narrative and he can have some story unrelated to his gayness as well.
