I think Lucy Lawless said that they will be openly lesbian in the reboot coming up but I've been watching through and I'm still on season 1 but both her and Gabrielle seem to have genuine romances with various one-episode men, are they bisexual or fully lesbian?
shareGabrielle's interest in men more or less
stops after season 2 or 3 so an argument could be made she came to terms with her sexuality as a lesbian later.
Xena is bisexual.
Lucy Lawless has stated on several occasions that yes Gabrielle and Xena were lovers . The writers also stated that as the episodes went on that they wrote the episodes more towards subtext meaning that Xean and Gabrielle were a couple without explicitly stating it.
shareInteresting. It always seemed that way to me.
All for a box of chocolates...

Xena canonically falls in love and is sexually attracted to several men through out the series. Xena does not have to be a lesbian in order to love Gabrielle. That's where people, unfortunately Lucy included, get it wrong.
shareThey weren't originally supposed to be. They were supposed to be straight and basically a female version of Hercules and Iolaus' friendship in its parent show. It was only because the lesbian community in New York became fans of the show that Xena and Gabrielle conveniently developed a "subtext" in their friendship/relationship.
