They could be bisexual. Will wait and see, for all we know Lara is Asexual or straight up gay. The simple fact is we don't know what sexuality Lara is and Sam Might be straight given her comment in her journal on the endurance, or she could be bi or even a closet lesbian.

I'm not saying that either of them are gay, but it is a possibility given how they interact in both the first game and the comics. Do I want to see them as a couple, I'll be honest, Yes they have great chemistry and outside of BioWare games there has never been a game where the lead character was gay.

Ellie is gay, but she was only playable for a few mission. The PC in games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Life is Strange, Can be gay but that is down to the Players choice. And there have been a number of well written LGBT characters in games over the last few years but they are usually but they are almost always secondary characters and none of them are the lead character.

So in my opinion, I would love for Lara to be gay and end up with Sam in TR3. It would change nothing about her character and nothing about her role in the series would be affected by it. Why would it.

(The following is directed at idiots who think a character being gay ruins their character and makes them a bad person and not directed at you, so offense is only meant for people who are acting like Jack Asses.)

Lara being gay does not change the fact that she is a great character who can kick ass and take names with the best of them. It shouldn't matter if the person she has romantic feelings for is a woman. It's like saying that Ellie's character was ruined because she kissed Riley, or that Korra was no longer a good character because she choose to love Asami instead of Mako.

If Lara doesn't end up with anyone then that will be fine and if they write her with a male love interest I will be okay with it as long as it is well written and not forced. And if she and Sam will only ever remain friends then that will be fine to. But she if she and Sam end up in a clearly romantic relationship then I expect fans to not get worked up over it.
