Was Berman gay?


If you recall, Berman was the expeditionary who seemed to have a "relationship" with the young Arab man. Before the truck crash scene in the desert, Berman is driving as Almasy rides shotgun, and Berman has some dialogue that seems to suggest this relationship is more than brotherly love. Later in the film, when Almasy is drunk, he listed "buggers" as being part of the International Sand Club, which I thought may have been in referrance to Berman?

Berman was gay, yes. I think that's a given.
As for the "buggers" reference, not sure if he was thinking of Berman specifically... it's possible.
