When the girls are made fun of for being lesbians, they don’t deny it - instead Tully flips the bird and acts as if she is dating Kate. You see this theme throughout the show, as Kate’s older brother is closeted (and remains that way well into adulthood) due to the fear of being harassed and even killed. Per the time period, aka the 80s’, it’s clear that the bullying that Kate and Tully face is lesbian-targeted, as it was a less acceptable time to be gay. While this was only a small moment in the show, it shows a societal expectation, certainly in the time period in which it’s set, but definitely still today, that two best friends cannot be soul-mate-level-close without being in love. Tully, in her truest Tully fashion, flicks them off and puts her arm around Kate. The pair walks out of school like this and are made fun of by their classmates for being lesbians. Tully gives Kate her pants and makes her shirt a very short dress. In high school, Kate is wearing a new pair of white pants that she accidentally bleeds through. So, why are you reading this? Because of what happens to Kate and Tully when they are younger. Although, it is true that Kate and Tully are both straight and as far as we know, will never date in the show. However, the way the characters are written highlights a soulmate level bond, and leaves a will-they-won’t-they vibe to be discussed. You may be thinking, Tully and Kate are definitely not lesbians, and you would be right. The reason for that is because of Kate and Tully’s extremely close friendship. Okay, to an unhealthy degree.įirefly Lane is a binger because every episode leaves you wanting more. Ever since, the pair was inseparable, almost to an unhealthy degree. Tully was Kate’s neighbor on Firefly Lane, and had an extremely neglectful mother, thus finding solace in Kate and her family.
