#its not 100 true because they do love their friends
“The “Epic love story of Sam and Dean” (as characterized by the show’s executive story editor Sera Gamble [Borsellino]) is in fact frequently refrenced within the show itself. Such instances include moments where Sam and Dean are mistaken for a gay male couple (see for instance “Bugs” 1.8;“Something Wicked,“1.18;and “Playthings,“2.11). These instances often provoke a mildly homophobic panic–usually in Dean (arguably the more masculine of the brothers). Homoeroticism is also developed as a consequence of the narrative prevention of both brothers’ heterosexual love lives (Dean’s relationships with women are prepetually doomed, and Sam’s female partners are frequently murdered). Perhaps most obviously the siblings’ excessively dependent love for one another is also commically misinterpreted as bordering on the homoerotic. Tossenberger summarizes: They don’t have anyone but eachother (and their father) to love, and since their fathers death, they love none but eachother….While this love is not necessarily romantic, our culture codes romantic love as similarly excessive, so the show makes it very easy to read Sam and Dean’s excessive love as romantic.(2.2)”—From the Supernatural book “Tv Goes to Hell: An Unofficial roadmap of Supernatural” pg 107(viagankingghouls)
