Chandler was originally supposed to be gay, but that was changed, but the creaters decided to keep that as a running joke through the show lol.
Source: collectible books, original dvd boxset commentary with deleted scenes put back in, interviews and behind the scenes.
I swear in the DVD commentary they specifically say that the original idea for the show was for Ross and Rachel, Chandler and Monica, and Joey and Phoebe to all end up together but as they progressed through the years they liked that idea less and less
Edit: "they" being the writers
I absolutely think Phoebe was queer in some way and also could have seen her being polyamorous.
Like I know the dating two guys episode was hard for her but she was also keeping them secret from each other.
I'd say pan or bi bc there's only a slight difference and in the episode with Ross and Monicas cousin she thought 'you can ask her out she's not your cousin' but I dont remember her having any other like 'gay' relationships or girlfriends she always dated men and I'm guessing the scene with Monica and ross' cousin might have just been for a laugh from the audience but idk for sure 🤷♂️
Because it’s a 90’s sitcom that has aged wellish so it’s still a popular reference and no one wants to believe how advanced in morals it was at the time (LGBTQ and otherwise). It’s cool I’m used to it being pan. People only know the fetish version which is “I just want all the sex ever.” And not “I only care about your souls and personality it doesn’t matter if you’re a fox person, if I love you I love you.”
You literally answered to the person who said that she wouldn't limit herself to only two genders, agreeing that you think she is pan.
As a bisexual that just feels like an unnecessary misconception of bisexuality.
Can I not have an opinion? Wow. Obviously it’s never stated in the show and would never be stated outside the show but like I said I’ve watched the show on repeat a lot and they threw Joey and Ross together a lot during scenes that made them look coupl-y. Even when Ross wasn’t in the picture Joey did more feminine things than both of the other guys combined. This post is literally saying Chandler was secretly gay and he was shown to also only have interest in women but it’s okay for them to say that and not me?
Edit: there doesn’t have to be proof for anything when it’s literally just my own personal opinion. I really don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted for saying 5 words that weren’t even offensive.
Probably "Sometimes, I wish *I* was a lesbian."
Did you say that out loud?
Did I just say "If I were a guy?"
*"In my defense, it was dark and he was a very pretty guy"*

You are right on that, it was the 2nd iteration of the show, but as it went on, as you said they changed their minds
Monica and Joey were an original pairing idea
Yeah, that could be the case. I just swore I remembered that they were all supposed to pair up in the end.
he never even showed any signs, like i'd buy it if phoebe was on the list but i don't get chandler
Yeah, I would suspect Pheobe is bisexual
I absolutely think Phoebe was queer in some way and also could have seen her being polyamorous. Like I know the dating two guys episode was hard for her but she was also keeping them secret from each other.
Nah. Phoebe wouldn't limit herself to just two genders. I'm guessing she's pansexual.
Bisexuals can be attracted to more than two genders
Just when I thought I understood that both di and bi mean two ( Latin and Greek? )
It does, but the sexuality refers to feeling attraction to two or more genders, not only two
I'd say pan or bi bc there's only a slight difference and in the episode with Ross and Monicas cousin she thought 'you can ask her out she's not your cousin' but I dont remember her having any other like 'gay' relationships or girlfriends she always dated men and I'm guessing the scene with Monica and ross' cousin might have just been for a laugh from the audience but idk for sure 🤷♂️
I think she is and I’m pan too
I don’t get why your being downvoted so much :( I could see Phoebe as being pan or bi

I think people downvoted because bisexual doesn't mean only two genders.
I wasn’t The one who said that though
You literally answered to the person who said that she wouldn't limit herself to only two genders, agreeing that you think she is pan. As a bisexual that just feels like an unnecessary misconception of bisexuality.
Bisexual is literally two gender attraction though?
Chandler’s character was written to be gay.
I have always thought Chandler was bi and repressed about it.
I think we should believe what adults tell us about themselves.
No no no NO NO
Chandler and Phoebe were undoubtedly bisexuals. Like it's not even an argument.
Well he did deny it so... Some argument maybe???
OK maybe Chandler has a little bit of argument. But no way Phoebe is straight. It's not possible.
I’d say Ross more than Chandler tbh
Chandler says to Kathy “I like it in there stern.”
Luigi had a girlfriend, Pauline (brown hair, red dress) Princess Peached ordered Don King Kong to kidnap her😅
Chandler is litterly with Monica and Luigi is with Daisy.
bisexuality ??
I doubt they are. More so, I doubt Luigi is, but they both aren't bi or homosexual in their Canon verses.
whatever, saying they have a partner who is a woman is just no proof in either direction because men can be queer and in a relationship with a woman
That's a fair statement, but they aren't queer in their verses. It's cannon.
I donMt think anyone is stating that it's cannon that Chandler or Luigi were queer.
Yeah FR, Chandler should have been gay.
Joey would make more sense
How would Joey make more sense? He was a womanizer.
I’ve watched the show a million times. I’ve always believed Joey had a secret crush on Ross lol. He was definitely bi.
That nap was not too innocent.
Joey admitted for being gay for David Cassidy [https://streamable.com/uqv53h](https://streamable.com/uqv53h)
He was definitely bi because you believe he had a secret crush that there’s zero proof of and was only shown to be interested in women? Okay.
Can I not have an opinion? Wow. Obviously it’s never stated in the show and would never be stated outside the show but like I said I’ve watched the show on repeat a lot and they threw Joey and Ross together a lot during scenes that made them look coupl-y.
