I'm not seeing the lesbian subtext. Great looking ad though!

I do believe the person to the right is meant to be a man--yep, even with that haircut. (Parting hair down the middle was a gent's style.) Puffy sleeves for a Romeo and Juliet costume.

But, I could be wrong. After all, they have been 'manuf'd'.
