yeah that was my line of thinking too but xie brought to my attention a conversation i had forgoten in which brian says he never had the thought of him and linsy being the reality.but i agree with you that its posible the love was not purely plutonic i mean their is this gay pon star named wrangler who fell in love with a woman and married her in his biography he says they do not have sex ,romantic love does not necesarily have to include sex.
