Luigi's sexuality

[Koopalmier]

Is Luigi really heterosexual, as we all believe it ?
I was playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, when I thought about something. Don't you think Luigi's relations with Peasley are a bit... strange ? I mean, Peasley is the only character in the game to actually care about him, congrat him when he does something epic and he keeps teasing him. Luigi also blushes many times in Peasley's presence. It should also be noted Peasley appears as a courageous and beautiful hero.

Is it only a sign of strong friendship ? Or is it... a bit more than that ? For now, Luigi hasn't been shown acting like that with anyone else. It should also be noted that, during the ending, Luigi cried when Peasley gave them the "gift". Sure, Luigi cries about a lot of things, but he didn't cried in M&L2 when he had to say bye to the babies and Young Toadsworth, although it was more serious as they actually did the whole adventure together and won't ever meet again for sure (for more discussion about this, check the "Babies" topic).

What about Daisy then ? Well, first, the fact the sports spin-offes are canon is debatable. Daisy never ever gets a mention in other games than spin-offes after her original appearance, and Luigi is never seen hanging around with her (unlike Mario and Peach), while he gets much more interaction with Peasley.

Additionally, I saw many "LuigiXPeasley" fanclubs.

So, what's your thought ? Is Luigi homosexual and Nintendo is teasing us with the LuigiXDaisy "proofes" (like a statue of both dancing in Mario Kart Wii) ? Is his sports counterpart heterosexual while the Luigi we know is homosexual ? Maybe that Daisy's love for Luigi doesn't work in the other way ? Or Luigi is bisexual ?

I personally never thought about this but now that I do, I think Luigi is either bi or homo. After all he does love to cook and do the housework, and is easily emotionally shocked, yet he falled in love with Princess Eclair, (arguably) Daisy and (arguably) Peasley. Although the Eclair case may just be a fantasm or a parody of how, in the end, the hero and the lady always fall in love. Also, Luigi's always been the exact opposite of Mario, but Mario is a not-too-virile man, so would that make Luigi a not-too-girly girl... ?

Those are some interesting points you bring up, but I find it hard to believe that Luigi is a homo/bisexual. Sure the sports games are spin-offs, and yes, it is debatable if they are even Canon. But they are officialy liscenced Games, puplished by Nintendo that do not caontradict the Main Series in anyway. So I think its safe for us to use them as a reference.

Nintendo never said Luigi and Daisy were in love.
Sure, Daisy calls Luigi "sweety" and made two statues of them both, in front of her castle (see Daisy Circuit in MKWii). But did Luigi already acted differently than usual with Daisy ? I'm not too sure, I'm currently too busy (see: lazy) to check. But I don't think so.

Luigi as being homosexual is actually interesting. He may even hide it, as in M&L2 the Star Gate talks about "Luigi's dark secret of the past" (or, in my version of the game, "the secrets of Luigi's heart" - wait, does that mean that...). It must not be too different in the original JAP version, I guess. In both cases Luigi still has a secret that he definitely refuses to say, not even to his brother and his baby self - even if he doesn't have problems saying to everyone he likes to do the cooking.

It may be true that Luigi is homosexual, but he is certainly not bisexual.

After all, in YI, we see his birth, where he is clearly male.

No just no. Nintendo would never do something like that. It would cause so much terrible fanfiction

[Koopalmier]

It did caused so much terrible fanfiction.

Oh God... Mental Images... Koo.. Koopalmier... Kill.. Me... Please!<Curls into Fetal position and Cries in Dark Corner>

I don't see why Luigi shouldn't be homosexual. Though this does make me wonder if there is prejudice against sexuality the Mushroom Kingdom...

[kingkoopa]

This is just reading TOO far in between the lines. There is no actual proof that proves any of this to be true. Never get ideaas from terrible fanfiction

Thank you KK! Now Koopalmier doesn't have to put me out of my misery... Oh, hey Koop... Uh, hehe... Watcha doing with that Gun Koo... Oh no.. Nooooooo---

[EpicGyllynn]

I kid, Koopalmier, I kid!

This whole topic is kidding. Well, not completely.
I mean, don't take it too seriously. None of my topics are really serious material. ^^"
On a serious note, I do think Luigi is heterosexual, while the MLSS thing was a joke (after all the game itself isn't really the most serious story, and someone even asks to Luigi if he's a man). Or Luigi is confused about his own sexuality.

kingkoopa : Actually I never cared about those, nor did I remember they existed until I thought about this topic.

Bisexual means that you are sexually interested in both sexes.

Bisexual is for being attracted to two or more genders!
