"The Lawlight foot rub isn't gay you idiots, it's a Bible reference!!!"

Yeah bitch, no shit it's a Bible reference. I grew up Catholic within the Theology of Liberation, do you think they ever shut the fuck up about Jesus washing Judas' and Mary Magdalene's feet? That shit is burned straight through my goddamn frontal lobe

Here's the thing though. In the Bible, washing one's feet is an act of worship. It is a very common theme, actually, with Jesus being offered to have his feet washed and then washing the person's feet instead being a motif. And the whole point of that is that Jesus is always washing the feet of those who have sinned, of the biggest pariahs at the time - prostitutes, the sick, the poor, you name it. Jesus' whole thing was saying that those who were at the margins of society were actually the ones most likely to enter heaven, those who deserved to be worshipped. It was also an act of forgiveness, of allowing them to start anew, in many cases - such as Judas'

So L washing Light's feet necessarily evokes exactly that symbolism - of worship and forgiveness. But here's the thing though, L is not fucking Jesus. He is an extremely competitive and frankly immoral guy, he would never "turn the other cheek" so to speak. Honestly, for anyone who is anything short of, you know, a holy figure way above human's capabilities, forgiving someone you know is about to kill you is proof of utmost love and devotion. For L, who cares about nothing other than winning, doubly so

So three things are going on in this scene: 1- L is allowing Light to actually fucking kill him; 2- L is, despite that, straight up worshipping Light; and 3- he's touching Light's foot

I think we can confidently say that the third one is the least gay out of all of them
