#butch danes i salute you and i envy your balls of steel

[1982brucespringsteen]

no but lukelorelai's first kiss still makes absolute sense when luke is a butch lesbian. the ambiguously platonic/romantic asking out, lorelai's absolute ease with luke because she's her friend and she's not reading too much into things until things become a little too much, the freak out period, luke's silent patience, the fight over her ex boyfriend!!! seriously if you change the word "taken" for "straight" the scene still works perfectly!!! and the kiss. oh my god the kiss. luke makes her move and lorelai flinches but luke is making. her. move. so she kisses her. and then lorelai kisses her and luke flinches because it was supposed to just be about making her intentions clear and putting her feelings out in the air for lorelai to know, not for her to reciprocate!!!!!! but they kiss again and again and again
