as someone who had never heard of daredevil + had no idea what to expect when it came to the characters i couldn't have realistically read foggy as heterosexual. this became especially true once i watched nelson vs murdock ("was anything ever real with us?" look, i know those were extenuating circumstances but i don't feel like that's something one straight man would say to another straight man in any situation)
the other nod that cements my foggy-and-matt-are-or-have-been-more-than-friends-in-some-way-at-some-point belief is in 1x09 after they've shown matt the plaque and matt says to foggy "you're not gonna kiss me" and pushes him back a little and foggy replies "i'm feeling a little something" which to me implies that since matt can use his super-senses to anticipate actions he knew either from a) previous experience with foggy or b) just knowing how to read foggy that foggy would/could have kissed him.
i'm not sure how i read matt exactly. i think matt is just far more reserved as a person especially when it comes to closeness, wether that's a part of his sexuality or a part of his personality i'm not sure. i for sure believe that foggy and matt are soulmates, whether that's strictly platonic or platonic but has-been-romantic-in-the-past or platonic on matt's side but romantic on foggy's side (maybe matt's catholic-guilt is what keeps it platonic on his end??) i just don't know.
