We've come along way from the days where we imprisoned people for just being homosexual but we've still got to go a long way before even the BBC will allow homosexual couples to become canon on a family show.
See, I wouldn't be that surprised to see gays on a family-centric BBC show... but I would highly doubt that they'd change a classic, deeply nationalistic myth to do so.
I hope the Merlin/Arthur fandom snaps out of this and tries to be optimistic about season 2 because getting upset over Gwen/Arthur canon is just not worth it. I've learnt that from watching Avatar.
Exactly.
Usually the slash fandom is better about knowing that they're not going to get canon than this.
