It’s not a bizarre take at all to the LGBT+ community.
Unless you’re a minority you’re never going to get on screen representation or role models or why it matters so much.
Not to mention it’s a horribly outdated and offensive cliched writing trope.
How many straight men have suddenly out of the blue confessed to having sexual feelings for another guy on Neighbours or let alone any other tv shows? Yeah it doesn’t happen, but usually without fail a Lesbian on tv at some point has to develop feelings for a man.
Not only that but Australian drama has a horrible history of writing gay characters only to turn them straight when the network balks or they get complaints from the conservative audience.
