The first time Timothy appeared on screen I knew he had socially developed to have gay tendencies and to be feminine.
I also knew he didn't belong in the wilderness and had no ability to smoothly blend in with nature as other naturalists have done in the wilderness.
A straight man would not carry on and deny to the degree as Treadwell did or even say they wished they were one because he got along so well with them than women. lol Men who get along with other men call each other friend(with no sex involved),
No straight man would make an idiotic comment about wishing they were gay. He didn't say he got along better with men as the OP suggested. Timothy merely implied gay men can have sex easier because they just go into restrooms at truck stops, etc. IT was a very inane and dumb statement. It showed he is out of touch in almost every way, whether about girls or men.
Straight men can have wonderfully close fraternal relationships with other men. They don't need to sexualize it and be gay in order to have these bonds.
The fact that he is poorly socialized and cannot vibe with women, by his own admission, is another telltale sign that he identifies as gay within his psyche.
At least he did attempt to embrace straight sexuality, the sexuality nature intended. HOwever, he had already been so warped in his development that it wasn't convincing. And that's why he had trouble with women staying with him. He needed therapy really bad.
Too bad a woman had to perish with him. In his defense, he did tell her to run away; it's her fault that she didn't heed her fears and intuitions.

I agree completely with synthiarose. I'm not a troll, or trying to start *beep* It just appears highly probable that Timothy was a repressed homosexual. It has absolutely nothing with him being sensitive, or his effeminate mannerisms and speaking intonation. It has more to do with him flat out saying things that normal straight men would never say. His "I'm not gay" speech, which is being told like a story to the camera, is more than enough proof that he's gay. It's way too peculiar. I've never known a guy to talk about women all the time, and if I did know one, I'd probably come under the suspicion that the person is gay, just like Tim. Just because you say you like women doesn't mean you're straight. It's so much more complicated than that.

This is an unbelievably misinformed statement. Same-sex sexuality is well-documented in hundreds of species. A simple Google search yields countless examples.

That proves nothing. There are countless things in nature that are actually unnatural. Google it. Also, show me two mammals of the same sex that can reproduce on their own naturally. Then get back to me.

LOL, that's the most extreme version of the No True Scotsman fallacy I have ever heard. Intriguing. At least you are somewhat creative in your trolling.

Ah, the classic (and overused into oblivion) troll accusation when they know they're wrong. How cute.
Properly speaking, homosexuality does not exist among animals.... For reasons of survival, the reproductive instinct among animals is always directed towards an individual of the opposite sex. Therefore, an animal can never be homosexual as such. Nevertheless, the interaction of other instincts (particularly dominance) can result in behavior that appears to be homosexual. Such behavior cannot be equated with an animal homosexuality. All it means is that animal sexual behavior encompasses aspects beyond that of reproduction. (Dr. Antonio Pardo, Professor of Bioethics at the University of Navarre, Spain)

There are animals that bond in same-sex pairs for life and also animals that are apparently hard-wired to prefer same-sex pairings. Reference Simon LeVay's 1991 study of sheep and brain structures.
It is an interesting academic question but ultimately moot IMO. Human sexuality is what it is, and "natural" as applied to human behavior is about as subjective as it gets. If we were to use animal behavior as our baseline then we would all be screwed anyway (no pun intended).
Later alligator.

A 1996 article published by the National Association for Research of Homosexuality, musters the arguments against interpretation of animal behavior as sanctioning homosexuality.
It notes that scientist Simon LeVay stated that the evidence pointed to isolated acts, not to homosexuality:
"Although homosexual behavior is very common in the animal world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity."

Wrong, homosexuality exists in nearly all walks of life from frogs to seagulls!

Not true... a straight man who has been through a lot and has a false notion that gay men have it easier might say exactly that.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an idiotic statement. Thus, it's true.
