To me, lesbian and gay ships have to be at least hinted at in the narrative. Why? because as a man I could create lesbian ships all day, even if they make no sense for the characters involved, just because. On the flip side I am sure others can do that for man x man ships, though personally those make me somewhat uncomfortable.

That being said... the only real "sin" of a ship, is when it is out of character. in other words, I rank them like this;

1. The relationship is Canon

2. The relationship makes sense given the characters personalities/goals/character, yet never happens

3. The relationship makes sense for one character, yet is OoC(Out of Character) for the other

4. The relationship is OoC for all characters involved

5. A gay/lesbian relationship with the same characteristics as 4
