I found a few of the reviews from other people annoyed about the gay content of this episode to be ridiculous.
This is a series about a brother and sister raising an orphan. If you only like "traditional love" or "traditional family values", how did you get this far into the series before throwing a fit?
The way the gay characters' identities were revealed wasn't exactly out-of-the-blue. I saw it coming. And I'm not known for having the best gaydar.
Another thing: it shouldn't be a problem to the viewer if the gay couple had sex. However, the episode never ever even spelt out whether or not they ever did have sex.
So if you're a parent and you tell your kids there was some awful message in this episode not suitable for them, the kids are potential going to think your message is that one shouldn't have a lasting friend of the same sex.
Like a lot of "risqué subjects", it's not risqué unless you try to make it "risqué ". And the work to construct some problem to complain about speaks more negatively toward you than the thing you're trying to condemn.
