It wasn't JUST a very strong friendship

It wasn't JUST a lesbian relationship

It is what it is to whoever is thinking about it.

Leave it alone.

I don't agree. These two women traveled together, ate together, fought together, risked their lives for each other, died for each other, cared for a child together, constantly declared their love for each other, and knew that they were soul mates. And it's impossible for me to believe that Xena and Gabrielle weren't in a relationship. Watching the whole series, it's clear in my mind that they were in love with each other.

Great! Thanks for the upload. Where is part 1??

I think the Dyke comments are a bit derragatory in the sense that Xena is a beautifully feminine woman but at the same time is a very tough tall big woman. She was a warrioress but even behind scenes you can see a very feminine soft side to this woman. From the beginning its evident that Xena has an attraction to the male counterpart and likely prefers males but she also mistrusts them. I think its a bit akward to put her on the spot because she had a devoted relationship with a woman.

Gosh I think the whole gay/bi/straight dispute is pathetic. The series was never made solely to the gay & lesbian/bisexual community nor to exclude either them or those straight. First of all its evident Xena WASN'T GAY, for one she had a daughter named Livia & had love affairs with many prime male characters. Its also plainly visible that Xena & Gabrielle had a very close relationship that included sex but was not limited to some primordial sexual bond. Even Gabrielle was seen with a man once.

bit cocky there in 5:41 don't ya think ... :D i think she has become a bit more humble over the years...

It was a bit disengenuous of Lucy to say they only picked up on the subtext followers after the 5th season...even in Season 1, Episode 19 Altared States, in the river scene they were very strongly playing up to the subtexters....

@bellavic10 They are soulmates , not only best friends, and they really are in a relationship as a couple (people like or not) ... It gets all clear in the last three seasons, like in S06E20 "Soul Possession" when after Xena (in Joxer - male body ) married Gabrielle (female) and in the end of this episode, Xena goes back to her own body.. So.. What do you think? She and Gabriella won't be married anymore? Won't they love each other anymore just because they are two women?

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

IS YOUR MUM XENA? lol

[DCfan6767]

Xena and Gabrielle were soul mates that has been apart of their cannon. The question is if they had a sexual relationship with each other which was left to be ambiguous.

"Cause you can't be trusted with the real thing..." hahaha Lucy is a hoot!
