Once Upon A Time is getting its first same-sex fairy-tale relationship

A gay couple is coming to Once Upon A Time’s fictional storybook land. The show’s creators, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, said over the weekend that two Once characters will have a same-sex relationship on the show’s new season, though they declined to mention which two characters those would be. Fan speculation points to Mulan possibly getting down to business with Sleeping Beauty’s Aurora, though she’s currently pregnant on the show with her husband Prince Phillip’s baby. (Drama!) There’s also speculation it could have something to do with Brave’s Merida, just because she’s new to the show and doesn’t seem to have previous romantic entanglements. It could also be one of any number of other new characters joining the show as part of its partial move to King Arthur’s Camelot.
