You’re right! Here are the storyboards. Pasted below are the relevant ones.

Alex Hirsch got in an adorable lesbian old lady couple up to the storyboards before it got censored.

One day, Alex. One day.

I’d like to add a little more to this, if you don’t mind.

In the storyboards, we see the love god wearing this necklace:

The symbol on the necklace is a symbol often used in the trans* community; the symbol in the upper left is used to denote transgender/gender-variant people:

He’s seen wearing this necklace throughout the storyboards, including his first entrance:

However, in the end it did get censored: 

As you can see, it got change to a necklace with two pendants, denoting only male and female:

Another example:

Yes, it did get censored, but I am amazed and delighted that people in the industry I want to work in are supportive and want to bring a positive, fun light to the LGBT+ community. It’s really awesome that Alex Hirsch and the team working on the show (i.e. Sabrina Cotugno, the board artist for this episode) had tried to make the LGBT+ community a part of Gravity Falls; thank you so much for that, Gravity Falls!

it’s okay, Alex, one or two more years of stunning success and Disney will be forced to bend to your will.

patience and persistence.

Alex will be able to get away with this soon enough because it’s the only show on disney that people watch and disney cannot afford to have it pulled.
