I have a confused. Apparently the Supernatural spinoff just cast its leads. *IMDBs the names* To everybody's shock, one of them is not a white dude.
The confused is something else, though. If you compare this report with this report, note that one mentions brown dude's dead fiance, and one mentions brown dude's dead fiancee.
This is kind of a crucial distinction, folks. Canonically-queer brown lead character? Sold, even given that the guy our lead is queer with is dead and also there's no sign yet of any women in the cast. Straight male lead character with dead lady backstory? Fuck the women-in-refrigerators bullshit, no matter how much I want to encourage brown leads.
