This kid was presented as gay, or at least bi at the beginning of the movie, but all he needed was his hot neighbor to jump in the shower with him and he became a "normal", well functioning member of society. Maybe instead of parents sending their kids off to camps to make them straight, they should just hire a sexy neighbor to jump in the shower with them.
shareMy God, all the fangirls here!
I don't know how many guys would give head for weed. Heroin? yes. Crack, meth coke, yes. But weed? No.
The film was anti-gay in that the poor confused boy just needed to dress "normal" stop wearing make-up and have sex with a girl. Then of course the dirty gay perv shows up and is put in his place to the delight of fraus everywhere.
Sad and pathetic and won nothing because it deserved nothing.
He was never pretending to be gay. He agreed to be pimped out so he'd have money for drugs. It also heavily implied that Sam didn't do anything to the other guy but the other guy doing things to him.
shareI actually thought the movie was just pro-hot neighbor.
Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
I never thought of him as bi or gay. I thought he was gay for pay. If not just how he already was, I'd say his experiences probably made him comfortable enough with his own sexuality where he wasn't all "Am I gay?" he just knew he was doing it for cash. He seems like he might have a gay friend or two.
If anything, I would say this movie is homophobic for the way it portrays the neighbor, as a stuffy uptight stereotypical type A personality who leads the charge against the house and pays minors for sexual favors in parked cars at night.
