I agree about changing the gender references in songs either way, it's obviously a bit silly to say the least. I don't believe that people should really call themselves homosexual, I just don't see the point. Just do what you want and if anyone has a problem with it, then make it a massive problem - really rub it in their faces. As for calling yourself heterosexual, there's really no point in that, everyone assumes everyone is anyway. For now though, we live in a world where people use these labels and it's not for heterosexual people to tell any self-identifying LGBT+ people what they should call themselves.
Hmm...

Has anyone considered that the reason there's no VT of the partner is the fact that the partner hasn't consented? It's not a case of being in the closet or the show being homophobic, but some people just don't like the publicity.

I get the feeling she's way more a 'behind the scenes' type of person anyway. She's made a few very brief appearances but doesn't seem to want attention drawn towards her.

I think Saara's sexuality has been handled really well in the show. It's not a secret or sushed about, but also not made into a gimmick and she's not stereotyped in the production when it comes to staging or costuming.

Jesus, haha I don't think your 'hmm..' was nearly as poignant as you'd hoped.

Daily Mail have covered her relationship and it seems quite positive, they look like a nice couple:
