I actually will say that I think it's one of Moffat's failings this season. He had a chance to continue with representing a wide spectrum of sexualities and it makes me sad - and a little angry - that he didn't do so.
ESPECIALLY since this is a BBC show. Diversity is part of the charter!
I avoided the coments in that post for the most part and will continue to do so :/ I read the post and it actually made some really interesting points - namely the difference between text and subtext. I think sometimes I get so hung up on the subtext that I forget these things aren't explicitly stated. (You make a point in one of the other comments about Doctor/Vincent. I saw it, but it wasn't TEXT).
*edited for clarification.
I also didn't notice the thing with River. Hm. I don't know what to make of that.
I've been thinking about that and your right - subtext is NOT the same as text, and it's not proper representation.
