What you're not understanding is that Sugar doesn't have the balls to come out and say that they're lesbians. Or even women. They're genderless space rocks, and that makes them super safe and instills plausible deniability.

Alright, that's a little harsh, but let's put it this way: gay people, who feel underrepresented in the media, who still feel discriminated against and looked down upon, some of whom actually fear for their lives because their families disown them and force them on the streets, haven't fought for years to get an "implication." If they're gay, have the balls to admit it or show it in some significant way besides "oh let's fuse ;)"
