I was watching this earlier tonight and a few homosexual things jumped out at me that are rarely talked about (or are not noticed)
The outside of Jesse's door has a sign that says "No Out of Town Chicks" and that's fine and all, except the "Out of Town" part is in such small lettering it just looks like "NO CHICKS"
In the kitchen, on the chalkboard, a message reads "Zach called." Who's Zach? I don't think Zach is for Jesse's mom and Zach is definitely not for Jesse's little sister. I guess it's possible Zach is for the father, but I dunno. Thinking Jesse would have rather had this Zach guy in the cabana than Lisa
Also, some of the dance songs in the movie, like the one Jesse dances to in his room or the song "Whisper to a Scream" by Bobby O, are very popular within the gay community. Bobby O even worked with Divine. -

Much of it was indeed the nuances that the actor unknowingly brought to the character during his performances. If Christian Slater or Brad Pitt had landed the role instead of Patton, I doubt much of this 'gay' discussion/theory/legend would exist to anywhere near the same degree.

The writer of the script admits that he put homosexual overtones in the movie.
We know that the actor is gay.
And then the writer explains that some of the decisions the director made took his overtones and made them more obvious, probably unknowingly.
It is what it is, and what it is is homosexual.
By the way, I am right behind you. -

Why does anybody ask this? It was and is in your face gay. They threw under tones out the window on this one. HIV just started and people were freaked. The only other movie to attack sexual politics during this decade was Hellraiser.

Just wanted to add that there is a "board game" in Jesse's bedroom "closet" called "PROBE". I grew up in the '80s and I don't recall any board games by that name.
For those that need it spelled out, "Probe" is obviously in reference to gay sex, as in "Anal Probe". There's even lubricant sold by the name of "Probe"
