 Chabon answered to the question stating, “You’re right, there has been a relative lack of emphasis there. Our characters’ sexualities, or rather our understanding of them, emerged and evolved over the course of the season, as our actors moved into and began to inhabit their roles.It was an organic process, and references to sexual identity and history arise in a less explicit way. Next season that understanding will come more fully into play.”
