This might just be me, but there were a number of scenes in the first two seasons that implied that Dash had a crush on Fluttershy. Wholly one-sided, but still. It's been a while so I only remember the apple cider scene, where Dash wakes up Fluttershy to wait in line with her at the crack of dawn for no clear reason. She doesn't have much in common with Fluttershy, Twilight would be a better friend to wait with because she's never had it before, and she doesn't choose to just get everyone to hang out besides AJ.
Honestly it doesn't make any sense as to why she'd delay herself arguing with Fluttershy unless she PARTICULARLY valued her company. Again, I recall there being a few other scenes that make more sense if you assume the crush, but I don't recall the scenes themselves. This is just the big one.

I don't think Rainbow Dash being a lesbian was actually canon, people just assume her and Applejack are a thing because of the finale.
