Well, it's not like they've never done anything risky before. There was the whole Mike's-best-friend Lawrence coming out of the closet storyline quite a few years ago, which resurfaced when Deanna's mother objected to him being Mike's best man because he was gay (though, if I recall correctly, an alternate version was done for some American newspapers which had her objecting because he was black.)

Johnston tends to deal with reality, which is nice.
