That whole scene where he was introduced was just
-I'm gay
-Oh you poor thing!
-That's not allI'm a paraplegic
-NOOOOOOO! What kind of God would do something this cruel!??!!!?
So what if he's gay, it's not like he can have sex anyway, right? So why not just pretend to be straight to stop his parents sending him to 'Straight Camp'

Gosh, I can't imagine why you have trouble with people thinking you're a bigot.
I am the sod-off shotgun.

Don't you think it was a bit much?
He didn't need to be in a wheelchair for that scene to have the same tone.

If he weren't in a wheelchair then he really could just run away.

I totally agree. It was a physical manifestation of how trapped and immobile he was in his situation.

What makes you think he can't have sex just because he uses a wheelchair? He didn't say he was a paraplegic, and even if he was, why do you assume that means he can't "have sex"?
Your lack of imagination is depressing.

I finished reading
The Mayor of Castro Street
over the weekend, and that did actually happen.

someone already said it, even if a guy is in a wheelchair, some of them still can have sex and have working male parts.
even if he couldn't, he can find love and they can kiss and he can pleasure THEM. so for the rest of his life he would need to go kissing girls.
