For everyone here, yes, Pratchett stated that she WISHES to make Lara gay, but obviously, Lara is neither. In fact, we don't know whether Lara is hetero, bi or gay.

Get over it.

And to my 2nd point, indeed Alex had a crush on Lara, nothing serious. He made a pretty interesting character to me, though, throughout the story. And for you guys saying, Alex' death did impact Lara the least; think again. That's how I saw his death: Lara vowed not to let anyone else die for her sake. She (at least I would be like that) was tired of losing more people in her name. After Yamatai, she had a few halucinations including Alex, so his death did hit her hard, in a way. She probably had no romantical feelings at all for him, yet she did care for him as a friend, and why wouldn't she? He went to the same school as Sam and her, they surely had spent some time together as well.

It's all about examining the plot and stories. Sure, Roth's death affected her most, but to be honest, Grim's death didn't seem that 'spectacular' in my view. The only death that hit me was the one of Roth and when Alex died, I had to pause the game for a few minutes, since I thought she would had been able to PUSH THAT DAM PIPE OFF HIS LEG and get him out of this place.

However, that's also just another opinion in here.

Again, if Lara is gay because she has this close friendship with Sam, I'd have to be gay too, since I treat and care about my best friend not any less. Anyway, I think Lara is better off on her own and just surrounded by FRIENDS, nothing more or less. She is a Tomb Raider, not a freaking Bella Swan or Katniss Everdeen.
