    Offermans character was deep in the closet and his future husband had to break down some heavy emotional walls. It was his first relationship with a man.

    Being gay was very much part of the theme and wasn’t just some offhand detail about them imo.

    There was a lot to the episode but pretending their sexuality had no impact on how the story was told or its impact is silly. I don’t think it would have been as touching without it.

    Some of you really need a rewatch.

      You should really rewatch it, because the genders could be changed and it’d still be a good episode.

      No mattrr how much people whine or gloat about it, the gayness wasn’t required. It’s not a “gay” story. That’s the entire point Offerman is making.
