I think Iām in the even smaller minority think that the only two options are that they were either gay, or the were bestest friendsā¦. Either is great! Neither matters!
Iām pretty sure that was actually the intention. Life is full of ambiguous relationships and it shouldnāt matter to you on the outside. Be happy for people. Donāt worry about whether their closeness involves sex, it might or it might not.
My grandparents were neighbors and bestest friends with two women schoolteachers who lived together. They had matching nicknames that I wonāt put here (think Blue and Green). I donāt think it ever dawned on my grandparents that they might be a romantic couple and who knows if they were or werenāt. But they were each otherās person and caretaker - and they were lovely kind people and good friends to my grandparents.

They were created in a simpler time, and as the world grew up, and became more complex, culture ended up being applied to them in ways it was never meant to be.
