Clearly whoever wrote that has issues  Undecided

It was really well done, not rammed down anyone's throats at all - pretty much all left up to the individual viewer's interpretation.

I honestly think some people just like to create a fuss about stuff. There was nothing majorly overt about their sexuality except for perhaps the tongue joke, which most people seemed to have missed anyway

You could just as well say that Amy and Rory's relationship is shoving heterosexuality down our throats.  More so, as it's a bigger plot issue.

Watch out for this one. He's obviously trying to create the 'Hetero Agenda' Tongue

There is always someone who has to moan about how the show is ruining family values because its so 'gayed up'. I think some people need to look further than their own front door to see what real life is really like

So were they ok with the gay clerics? Tongue

Some people have (awful) double standards.

From SFX in regards to a spin off for the pair...

“I instantly pitched it to Ben Stephenson [Controller, Drama Commissioning],” showrunner Steven Moffat exclusively tells SFX. “He just said ‘…Yes!’. And then I said ‘I obviously don’t have time to do this…’.”

But our screens may not have seen the last of the sapphically-charged 19th Century investigators.

“I think I might revisit them,” reveals Moffat. “They were great fun to write. Obviously the first person to think about a spin-off was me, when I was writing ‘A Good Man Goes To War’… A Victorian Silurian? Her lesbian maid? Come on!

“I was pleased by the reaction to them, but not surprised. They really cut through as characters, given how little screentime they had. I certainly wouldn’t be averse to them returning. It’s just a thing that worked, isn’t it? I love that Victorian setting, and having kicked it out of Sherlock Holmes I can always kick it in somewhere else!”

I'd love to see them again in the show - they have so much potential. A spin-off would be even better though - as Moff's too busy, maybe there is someone else who can take them on  Smiley

I would be more than happy to see them again, and a spin off would be wonderful. I think they were a great pairing.

I agree. They have to make a return. The way he worded his statement though makes me think we won't be seeing them in the rest of series 6 though, which is a shame (unless they are in the episode after the break)

There was a rumour a little while back that I think I put in the audio section that an audio spinoff was being developed, but I don't know how much truth there was in it.
