Jesse is obviously ...
... bisexual.
I want to live in a world of magic and miracles, not emptiness and entropy.
Not necessarily. He probably doesn't even know himself what he is at this stage in his life.
The first Elm Street movie was about sexual awakening, so is this one, but with the added layer of complexity being that here they deal with the gradual awakening of homosexual urges and desires.
Jesse may not even be explicitly aware of this himself, looks to me like all he is consciously aware of is increasing distance between him and others, his father in particular (nice touch, that), and that he is increasingly becoming more different from anyone else.
Give him a few more years to find himself and come to terms with it, and he'll probably come out as a full blown gay.
Tesla was robbed!
Haven't closeted/latent bisexuals have had to deal with many of the same issues that homosexuals have had to deal with, though? It's not as if gays have a monopoly of issues pertaining to sexual repression/awakening.
I'm Heather Langenkamp's husband in another universe.
Everything but your conclusion supports the bisexual angle. Not all bisexuals eventually come out as gay.
