SPECIAL: Among other things, Easy's adoption wish was the subject of the soap - and how difficult it is for a gay couple to start a rainbow family. Boldt explained that the subject of homosexuality and the rainbow family was not something that the "Unter Uns" authors had sucked out of their fingers. "It is a topic that many people in Germany are passionate about," continued Boldt. The fictional story about a gay couple's desire to have children has never been seen before in a daily German TV series.
