The golden rule of fiction is that we can only trope what's in the work itself. That doesn't mean we can't interpret things any way we wish, but fiction does not follow any

The golden rule of fiction is that we can only trope what\'s in the work itself. That doesn\'t mean we can\'t interpret things any way we wish, but fiction does not follow any \"rules\". If the story says that Meg is a lesbian, then she\'s a lesbian; we can interpret that it\'s just the writers making an AssPull and ShockingSwerve (and I totally agree with you that it\'s almost certainly what this is), but that\'s all we can do: interpret.
Furthermore, sexuality is a nebulous subject. {{Heteronormative Crusader}}s refuse to believe that you can be naturally LGBT, which is why the fact that you can is repeated ad nauseam until the world finally catches on. \'\'\'\'\'However\'\'\'\'\', you can also \"discover\" your sexuality later in life. I know several lesbians personally who dated men early in life and showed attraction to the opposite sex, but later found greater fulfillment with women. Also, I know a woman who doesn\'t like to call herself a \"lesbian\" because although she\'s \'\'never\'\' been attracted to a man, she doesn\'t rule out that there may be an exception someday.
Tl;dr: It\'s a very complicated issue.
