Having said all that, I wish Marge had stuck around. I really did. While I'll always ship Billy/Trini, I liked Marge. And at the end, she kissed him on the cheek. In the PRU, that's like third base.

And I loved how the kids faked a monster attack, just to get Billy's attention.

"Ask her to the dance!" says Jason.
"This was your emergency?" Billy asks, indignantly.
"The biggest one of your life," Zac nods.

I love these kids.
I don't have a favorite of his short-lived girlfriends but I doubt the writers had any knowledge of David's sexual orientation or when it started to come around as well as the constant hate he got from crew members. Keep in mind that writers typically don't have contact with cast members so it likely would have been Directors or Producers that could've made such homophobic remarks towards him.
