I get all of your points, I was only pointing out whyzero love interests does not typically exist in american television. I did say almost since their is an exception to every rule. I’m really only replying to clarify you saying Batwoman has to be gay on tv because thats the way she is written in the comic. I’m not 100 percent positive but the dc shows on CW have not always followed cannon, so they could have wrote the tv character any way they wanted to. I dont think most people really care one way or another it’s just when things are changed to appease certain groups of people. No one seemed to care when Clark had a girlfriend on The 100 as it fit with the character

I never watched The 100 nor have I ever cared to, so I can not complain about his having a girlfriend - my comments about she would have to be gay in the instance of this television series is that they are basing it off the 2006 (to present) comics and if they were to change that piece of information the backlash would have been also over news sites and gossip blogs galore. People are only complaining now because it’s a lesbian fronted show where the lead does not hide their sexuality. The actress Ruby Rose (who plays Batwoman/Kate Kane) has actually left social media sites like Twitter because first she was seen as to gay and then when it was announced she was cast as Kate Kane she was seen as not gay enough. Her entire reason for leaving was because of so called fans attacking her sexuality in a backlash because she was playing an openly gay lead superhero. If they wanted to change things about the comics to fit into the show, go for it; no one is stopping them; but when they change something as iconic as one of the first openly gay main characters in the DCU they will have to be able to back up this change and give a great deal of reasons why. Because at the end of the day it was their decision to make the gay heroin into a TV series.
