You and I are now Bro’s.

I know you’re not, Rainbow. No need to point it out to me.

Really, I would love it if she wasn’t a lesbian.  
In my mind, Twilight’s the only lesbian in town. except for Lyra and Bon Bon, but they’re a couple already.

I love how all the crazed ‘shippers are having a fit over this pic.
 
No offense, but I never really cared for that fanon idea. (In fact, I get tired of everyone trying to make every character gay, or pair them up with every other character.) It just seems to cliche’ that a girl just ‘cause she’s a “tomboy,” or something means she’s a “lezzy.”  
It’s a bit of an unfair generalization to both hetro’, and gay tomboys.

Until I get some canonized proof specifically stating she is not gay I will continue to not give a fuck.

THIS IS REALLY OBNOXIOUS

OH BOOHOO, YOU’RE GAY YOU’RE LESBIAN, YOU’RE STRAIGHT!  
MY PENIS DOESN’T WORK!!!!

Of course youre not a lesbian.  
This is why it called a FANDOM.  
It will never happen.  
Besides, were just complete idiots.

That’s right, she doesn’t love Fluttershy because she’s a mare; she would love her regardless of her gender.

She’s never shown interest in ANYONE, like most of the other characters on the show, there is no canon.

I have uh..opinions …too I guess.

V Well.. there is still the so called “Word of God/Gay” (just look up tvtropes for examples), which you could look forward to, since there are cases, where a writer/producer/voice-actor/goldfish from the show will clear the sexual orientation of a character up, yes even in children’s cartoons.  
The problem of course being, that sometimes opinions will largly differ within the production-crew.  
How much this would help is another debate though…
 
For me personally… I honestly don’t care.  
This isn’t a romantic oriented show (yet), so the sexual orientation is simply not important in this show.
 
So a stay with the fanon-depiction of RD’s preference… namely everything that moves ûu

We will never know if she is a lesbian or not. So we will just decide what headcanon we want and everybody is happy.

Seeing as this is a kid’s show the chances that they would have a homosexual character is low. Very low.

Well, look at it logically.
 
If they ever confirm her sexuality, it’s one of two things:
 
She’s gay, and they look like an asshole for making a caricature of homosexuality.
 
She’s straight, and they come across as clever and brillaint for subverting expectations and breaking stereotypes.
 
Gee, which one will it be?

Or you could go the Rarity route and make her have the usual “female gaze” on a sexy stallion.
 
It’s not complicated.
 
I don’t see why a butch-looking/sounding woman is almost automatically a lesbian. Fluttershy could count as a “lipstick” but nope, bunch of Fluttermac.

I ultimately must conclude that since Rainbow Dash has not been officially confirmed as a lesbian, nor has she been proven to be so otherwise, that the possibility of her being so is still possible.

But definitively proving she’s not a lesbian (which would be really funny, I agree) would require a serious romance plot starring a mane character, something else the writers and creators know won’t happen.
 
I’m not saying Rainbow is a lesbian or even that lesbians are bad, but, come on. The writers and creators are informed people, and had to know this character would generate these kinds of reactions.

Yeah, Trotsky.
 
One of the biggest points of the show is the subversion of stereotypes. Twilight’s a peevish OCD librarian, but she’s a hero with a heart of gold. Fluttershy’s a meek wallflower, but she’s a berserker in a pinch and would die for her friends. Rarity’s a dramatic buffoon, but she’s one of the most selfless ponies alive. etc, etc.
 
Rainbow Dash is a lesbian stereotype, and isn’t a lesbian. Get over it.

Guys, can’t we merely agree to disagree?

Which would make the idea of her straight all the more enjoyable.
 
Because screw stereotypes.

I’m sure the show is never going to actually say she’s a lesbian but surely the creators and artists HAD to know this conclusion was going be drawn.
 
So either they were unaware of the blazing sterotype they created, or were making a subtle joke.

My God, you’re an idiot. She was propping Fluttershy up. Only desperate, pathetic shippers interpret that scene as a kiss.

It’s a BG pony, what do you expect?

Wait a minute, anon is a dreadful ignorant, wilfully stupid bigot? Say it isn’t so.
 
(Still her choice, lest there be any doubt on my position. Insofar as “her choice” can apply to a fiction cartoon pony.)
