The search for "wedding" castes for a LGBT couple raises questions • How will the marital conflicts with the gender stigma figures we are used to accept be presented?
How will gaps between the sexes be pumped out?

For the fifth season of "Wedding at First Sight" we are looking for couples from the gay community.
Requirements: Gays and lesbians over 30 who want to get married.
Attempts have been made in the past for same-sex casting, but without success.
So it seems that "Wedding at First Sight" succumbed to public pressure, for the first time in the Israeli version.
The question is how such a connection will finally be expressed on screen, since throughout the previous four seasons “Wedding” has been careful to provide us with couple conflicts with very gender-stigmatized characters.
Men should always prove to women stability, give some horizon of family building and signs of the existence of emotional intelligence; Women, on the other hand, will be stressed about intimacy, dramatic, easily surrendered but carrying complexes with them. How will these stigmas be clothed and gender gaps pumped out during a season, when the two matchmakers are members of the same sex? We'll probably only find out when the season starts.
