And yet in the original comment you never said it would be a gay love story. You just said gay story.
But let me rephrase that then - would you call a love story between a heterosexual man and a woman a “hetero love story”?
The “gay” in “gay love story” is a secondary classificator - it’s a love story of two people who happen to be gay. A “gay story” could be a love story, but could also be a story of someone finding their identity, about their struggles in the world as a gay person etc.

Nowhere in the original comment did they say it is a gay love story.
Full disclosure: I’d probably call it a gay love story before encountering this post. But there is fair point in the title of the post - why do we need to differentiate love stories based on what sexuality are the protagonists? And if we do that, why not do the same if protagonists are heterosexual? Then the classifications you mention would have to go like:
[Insert country] gay love story
A teen hetero story.
A divorce bi story.
The sexuality really should be secundary classificator.

Do you also refer to romantic stories between man and a woman (traditionally referred to as “love stories”) as “heterosexual stories”?

While it could be considered a reboot, it’s also just a different adaptation. I’d agree with you if this were movies, but TV show is something else.
While I’d prefer it to be something new, I’m looking forward to it just the same.

They could’ve made the time jump a bit shorter, it would still work I think. What I don’t understand though is why they made time for the Strange Dogs story when they knew the series wouldn’t continue… (I want to believe!)

I’m pretty sure Hellblade didn’t have UI and that game was incredible.
- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 11 months ago:
Meanwhile, I’m baffled this was/is a thing in some places. We always had to go get our food once the delivery was outside of the building
- Comment on What does it look like for a YouTube creator when the audience uses something like NewPipe or Freetube? 11 months ago:
Interesting… another user tested the views when I asked in Piped community about the same thing and no views were added to his video.
Anyway, +1 view from LibreTube (Piped). Thanks for doing this!
