It is almost like they are treated like REAL people trying to navigate a new and complicated relationship. Sorry, do you think LGBT people should only be represented as angel soulmates with no conflict?

There are a lot of different ways that you can portray realistic relationships with conflict and complications. This is not a useful dichotomy you're portraying here, where the ONLY available options are either complete idiots who never talk to each other or try to resolve their issues, or perfect angel soulmates. It's just not the case that you have to choose between those two things.

NAYRT

Yeah, characters who never communicate are a staple drama trope, nothing to do with LGBTness.

You can dislike that trope even if the characters are gay, while still being glad the gay part is canon.

Huh? I don't think that's what OP meant.

You can be glad LGBT couple is on screen, and also think that the characters regardless of sexuality are terrible for each other and shouldn't be together.

Why did you jump to "they're LGBT so they must be angelic"?

It's a common response to ANY problems in fictional LGBT relationships.

Is it a response OP is making? I don't see it in the secret.

Why are you acting like fans never take issue with badly written het couples?
