Does it really matter though? Because from what I watched that episode was what someone would do for love. And to be honest, I don't think it would've had as big as an impact with a hetero couple.

I mean I think that's the point of the episode. Love is love.

I just disagree with the idea that the context doesn't matter, because heterosexual love and homosexual love were not viewed the same before societal collapse and so it wouldn't have been liberating in the same way for a hetero couple.
