Your gay characters cannot:

1. Have an illegal or otherwise creepy age gap.
   
2. Cheat on each other or anyone else (especially not if the cheating is portrayed as romantic).
3. Die tragically, violently or AT ALL. 
   

To all the people in the notes going “but but tragedy is a valid form of…” Yeah, sorry, straights broke it with decades of nothing but tragedy for LGBT characters. This is a moratorium on all such tragedy films with tragic endings for at least the next 50-75 years at which point there will be a review to determine if mainstream media has EARNED it. 

From 1922 to 1968 the Motion Picture Production Code (commonly known as the Hays Code) enforced rules regarding the treatment of gay characters in tv and film. Homosexuality and gender nonconformity could be acknowledged, but it had to be punished to show that consequences would come from such “immorality.” Showing these characters as creepy, predatory, unfaithful, etc etc was common, and for decades pretty much every queer or queer coded character was brutally murdered. The homophobic tropes born from the Hays code are pervasive in media today. The sheer amount of tragedy and violence written into queer media in the last century has in the long term damaged people’s perceptions of what queer stories are “supposed” look like. 

New Bechdel-like test for gay/lesbian romance films: If your queer piece of media complies with the Hays code, start over.

Personally, I’m not surprised to see the diamonds supposedly fighting in the promo. Especially considering this foreshadowing from back in season 2.

“It’s colour war, Paulette! Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”

Yes, I know there’s some Lapis and Peridot symbols in their design too but Look at how much these characters resemble Blue and Yellow Diamond. Blue’s long hair, typical tearful expression, and blue colors. Yellow’s shorter, spiky hair/helmet thing, angry expression, and yellow colors. Just like Paulette and Percy, we’re going to see our own color war: Blue vs. Yellow.
