Agreed with the both of you (Rouhad and Site Looker), with a vengeance.

Seriously, aside from the amoral implications of such a thing, there really was no need to make Mulan gay or bi at all, same with Aurora, since she wasn't that in her film at all (remember, the only reason Mulan had to crossdress to be a male was because the alternative was letting her dad, who was a cripple, join the military and undergo a suicide mission that probably won't even slow down the invading Hun army, not because she actually prefers to be male, overall being a senseless sacrifice under the vague notion of "honor"), not to mention it comes across as extremely offensive by implying that a woman who tries to defend her native land, especially when the only alternative is letting a cripple of a father make a senseless sacrifice for "honor" is somehow not straight. I'm grateful the writers of OUAT haven't made Ariel non-straight, especially when Ariel's just about as badass as Mulan (pardon the language).

Most times, I really wish the medical journal didn't remove homosexuality as being a degenerate psychological illness, which was only removed because of a mob and conspiracy.
