** Anne and Diana's bosom friendship is filled to the brim with LesYay subtext, with the two frequently exchanging romantic exchanges, and, in the second Kevin Sulivan film -- ''Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel'' -- [[PlatonicKissing a kiss on the lips]]. While this is largely because the books were a product of their time, as it wasn't unusual for girls to have {{Pseudo Romantic Friendship}}s in the late 1800s and early 1900s, some have theorized that Anne and Diana harbor romantic feelings for each other, but are unable to realize or explore those feelings due to [[ValuesDissonance homosexuality being taboo in that period]]. Some [[SettingUpdate modernized retellings]] (most notably ''Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of)'') go [[AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul through]] with this [[AdaptationalSexuality interpretation]].
