The Palladinos are phenomenal TV creators, but damn their shows are almost aggressively heterosexual.

Oh man, yeah. I loved GG but good god that show was het as fuck. And like, ok, there's nothing wrong with Rory and Lorelei both being straight, but the fact that pretty much EVERYBODY else was also straight, and actively straight. Like, dating and getting married and having babies straight.

Even Michel wasn't canonically gay in the original series, which is just plain bonkers to me. (I didn't watch A Year In The Life, but I hear they finally let him be gay.)

That said, it sounds like it was the network's doing more than the creators'. Apparently Sookie was supposed to be gay, but the network said no. I guess Susie was Sookie 2.0 - the It's 2019 Now You Homophobic Asshats edition. I do hope/wish they'd let Susie be demonstrably gay on screen at some point. I mean, obviously she's not going to be open about her sexuality the way a person might be today, but that doesn't mean we can't see her with a woman behind closed doors, in a way that elevates her sexual identity from obvious-but-subtextual to fully textual.
