Politically Controversial TV Progammes

I'm catching up on season 3 of "Once Upon a Time," and just today watched the episode where they strongly imply that Mulan is gay. On the one hand, like the guardian article says, there's no shortage of gay relationships on TV these days, but on the other hand, this is an extremely family-friendly show on ABC, an extremely family-friendly network. And they didn't really, truly say it, so if a parent wanted to talk it out a different way ("she just meant..." ) then they could. But baby steps are still steps, and I was happy to see it.
