I don't think that would fly as a story line. It comes uncomfortably close to suggesting that being gay is something so bad that a huge curse must be cast to prevent it. The homophobic subtext has the potential to offend so many viewers and garner negative press that I don't see a way it could be done that would not be a train wreck. Whatever they come up with will probably be a positive story featuring supporting characters who pop up periodically. I don't see it being a major story arc.

It actually suggest quite the opposite, since the villain who, according to the actress who plays her, has absolutely NO redeeming qualities is the homophobic in the scenario. She is SO homophobic that she casts a terrible curse destroying everyone's happiness due to her prejudices. It portays the homophobics as villains and the characters who supports the gay characters are the heros.
I see no bad message at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
