they don't kiss, so some people* try and argue they aren't. but i agree with you
*not just open reactionaries either! some of them are arguing it's yuribait and that that is a super harmful thing to say they're gay because the show doesn't have big flashing letters saying THESE GIRLS ARE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER, LIKE ROMANTICALLY
2024 rerelease of Madoka Magica where it pauses at certain moments and Kyubey just pops out with a big glowing neon arrow colored like the lesbian pride flag and says something like, "Oh these are some gay-ass girls huh, like, super lesbian, they don't kiss but my girls are GAY, they are romantically in love with each other." -- before disappearing off screen again and everything resumes
NB: I have not seen more than an episode of Madoka Magica (I should, though)
