I understand it's frustrating, I just don't get why everyone is expecting this particular story to fix that. I guess it was yet another story that *didn't* fix it...
ETA: Additional thought (and I'm sure you know all this, I'm dragging it out because it struck me) - Moffat did not include any gay characters in S5. It wasn't deliberate, it just didn't strike him. But when it was pointed out to him, he immediately rectified it in S6, including several great gay characters, none of whom were defined by their sexuality.
How come JK Rowling (who apparently has very diverse casts in her adult novels) hasn't done anything like the same? It's disappointing.
