Now with the whole LGBT issue...honestly, I did see that coming for Luna. But, I thought that it was going to be like what Craig Bartlett did with Mr. Simmons and just reveal what Luna's sexual orientation was when the show ended. Now, I still love "L is for Love" because it really played with my expectations. However, at the same time, it didn't really make Luna's character any better. She's still kind of bland, and is just....there for the most part. Now I am completely okay with LGBT representation in children's shows, because I admittedly don't believe in God, or at the very least, I am not religious. Really, I felt that Luna could be used as an example for any of the viewers who may be afraid of acting on their feelings. Really, the show for me went from just being a slice of laugh with the occassional laugh, to something more.

But, yeah...I do agree that they don't need to add anymore LGBT characters for the sake of political correctness. What made Howard and Harold great was the fact that they were treated as how any family would be treated. There was no "Oh my god, Clyde's parents are gay! Lincoln, I want you to stay away from that abominable family." It was refreshing. And with Luna; they didn't make it a big deal, and the episode didn't heavily pay attention to it. My only gripe is that several former fans try to make stories or fan art to fix the ending just because of intolerance. Even though if they were fans of the show, they would know that Clyde has two dads.
