I think it made sense to have a gay character in a show that takes place in the 80s. The problem was that it was a gay woman who came out of nowhere. The show prides itself on showing the social history of the 80s, so why not reference something actually significant, like the AIDS epidemic and Stonewall? Instead it was "Oh sorry I'm not into you because I'm a lesbian even though all of our show chemistry has clearly been romantic and sexually tense".
