It's very much in the spirit of the movie but I have to wonder how it was dubbed internationally. For example, it may have been a reference to him having a girlfriend in a place like Russia where the studio could be fined otherwise.

The reason they made Mitch gay, in my opinion, is to see if the audience had learned a lesson. We see how wrong the angry crowd was by trying to blame Norman for the zombie invasion and trying to attack him. They were looking for a scapegoat and targeted the one who was different. Even after the zombies are gone they blame their behaviour on mob mentality.
The audience knows that we should accept everyone, no matter how different they are from what we consider 'normal.' However, by adding the gay joke the makers wanted to confront the audience. Are you really THAT accepting? Turns out that's not the case. I mean, have you seen the ridiculous reaction some parents made about this film? They obviously have not learned the simple lesson of accepting those who are different from you. That's why this 'joke' was actually a powerful message. -

Which is why I love that my nieces, and little sister never really even batted an eye at Mitch's reveal. They laughed that he was taken, but had no negative reaction to him.
Can't stop the signal. -

Well it had the desired effect on me and made me LAUGH.
Come on, she throws herself at him all movie (and, let's face it, neither of them are exactly blessed with any kind of intelligence) only for him to give her that throwaway shocker at the end of the movie.

I shall ask a question. I know why Agatha cursed those people in the court. Because she was murdered by them So what is the curse of Agatha? I mean what happened to those murdered her? What is the effect of the curse on those people?

They barely reference the fact and it is to point out his boyfriend loves movies. It isn't like the girl tried to kiss him and he responds, I have a boyfriend. It is a very innocent throw away line.
