User blog comment:FreeSpirit98/What if Lincoln and Clyde become gay for each other?/@comment-25638061-20190920051236

Eh, Maybe... I wouldn't say it is impossible; but they would have to be bi, not gay, considering they have shown multiple times that they both like girls. Lincoln had a crush on Ronnie Anne, Stella, and Paige. Clyde liked Lori and Stella. If they were bi, I think they would have seen Lincoln or Clyde have a crush on a guy by now. The Loud family and McBride family are openly accepting of LGBT people, they wouldn't have any reason to hide or repress liking guys from their families.

But I think it's possible that they are just two straight guys who have a close friendship, and they hug each other because they don't buy into the toxic masculinity idea that two guys hugging = automatically gay. Guys can hug each other without being gay. And I am bisexual so I would love to see more LGBT representation in media, and we already have it on this show, with Clyde's dads, Luna, and Sam. If the writers suddenly made Lincoln gay when he never had interest in guys before, it would seem forced and like they are shoe-horning in another character as gay for the sake of getting more brownie points from the LGBT community.
