Is jo march gay

It’s as though Gerwig wanted to make Little Women a choose-your-adventure story, except the two endings are: “Jo is gay” and “Jo is not gay.” Ronan has even admitted that she believes that Jo could have been queer.

In the film, as in the books, lesbian subtext is pretty firmly submerged by the end. Jo meets the very likeable Professor Bhaer, and any questions the reader might have had about her sexuality earlier on seem resolved: she simply hadn’t met the right man yet.
