All you really have to do is look at the facts. Korra’s final words of the entire series are with Asami. Why her? Why this character? Why not any of the other friends Korra loves so dearly? Why not her mentor? Her parents? Naga? Why Asami? Why is Asami the one Korra went on a vacation with —alone— to another dimension? Why is Korra the person Asami couldn’t lose? Why, with a dreamy, intoxicatingly sublime variation on Korra’s theme, do the two young women approach the Spirit Portal together, holding hands as they step into the light and gazing into each other’s eyes as they enter another world, an world of endless beauty and wonder? Why end on this image?
Could you read this scene as not gay? Sure, I suppose.
But why would you?
