Agatha All Along is arguably Marvel’s queerest project to date. Beyond featuring Heartstopper star and out actor Joe Locke as a gay teen witch and the romantic tension between Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza as centuries-old rivals (which may become more than just tension in the season’s final episodes), fans have noticed quite a few easter eggs on- and off-screen that prove Agatha is even queerer than meets the eye.

In the series’ most recent episode, Agatha’s coven is made over into ‘80s sleepover looks, which for the titular Agatha means an aggressive side pony and purple jersey. Some eagle-eyed fans also noticed her sporting a bracelet in the colors of the lesbian flag.

When those fans pointed out the bracelet under costume designer Daniel Selon’s post about the episode, he seemed to confirm the colors were no coincidence by liking several comments thanking him for the representation. To one fan who expressed “much it [means] for us lesbians that Agatha was wearing those bracelets,” Selon even replied, “My. Pleasure.” Does that mean Agatha is canonically a lesbian? Only time will tell.

Another gay detail comes not from the show itself, but from the cast of actors bringing it to life. That includes the Salem Seven, the coven hunting down Agatha throughout the show. On TikTok, self-described “queer artist” Britta Grant, who plays one of the Salem Seven in Agatha All Along, treated fans to introductions for six of the seven witches in her coven. We don’t know much about the Salem Seven yet, so seeing they’re at least bringing queer rep behind the scenes is enough to give LGBTQ+ fans life.

Finally, there’s the series’ unofficial theme song, “The Ballad of The Witches’ Road.” The first time fans heard the song in the show’s second episode, it immediately became a classic. But the foreign language versions of the track might be even more iconic, especially the German rendition. It translates the chorus from “Down, down, down the road” to “​​​​Geh, geh, geh voran auf dem Hexenweg.” When sung out loud, it sounds like the coven is clocking all the series’ queer viewers. We can’t say they’re wrong!
