I do not understand why some people say Jessie is gay.

I think the fact the actor is gay has a lot to do with it. I'd also say there are many things that lead us to this conclusion throughout the film like the "No chicks" sign on the door, Jesse ending up at the gay bar (exploring his curiosity?), the dance scene, etc. Although they never explicitly state it, I think they wanted to lead us to that impression. I believe he eventually would've come out of the closet and still remained very good friends with Lisa, but obviously never anything more.

Is there something wrong with being a flaming ******?
The actor that played Jesse, Mark Patton, was gay. It was deliberately implicit that there was a homoerotic subtext in the film. The writer has stated that it was supposed to be more homophobic, but the casting ended up making it homoerotic.
I feel this is passing the buck, because why would he want to write a homophobic horror film, (what purpose would that prove), to disguise the fact that the it ended up homoerotic? Another bigot perhaps.
There is fairly recent documentary,
Scream Queen: My Nightmare On Elm Street
, that is about Mark Patton and his life and the flack he and the film got for its homosexual undertones, as though that is the worst thing ever.
The breeder element in society are such ignorant dropkicks.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
