Lyrabon did it first.

Oh yes, but the thing is… they’re gay. Does it affect the episode in any way?

@DonMaguz  
Yeah, it is true the overall story wouldn’t be different whether they were confirmed gay or not.

@Background Pony #5A08  
They didn’t need to.
 
They did because it was already established that Scootaloo’s aunts take care of her from time to time, in MLP side works, and they were part of the premise and the main catalyst for the resolution.

@Background Pony #5A08  
Gay people don’t exist for a reason, they just do.

@Background Pony #5A08  
Why do you need to ask questions like this? Why can’t we have one effing gay couple when we have straight couples alllllll the time

Lyra/Bon Bon: Cool, we’ve got new gay buddies.

Why did they need to put in a gay couple?
