I think the Clay was gay,and not only did he and Stopframe flirt, but I believe they really, truly cared for each other, maybe they were even in love. Certainly the coach had more true feelings for Clay than Bloberta did.
Moralton was a stereotypical, conservative Midwestern town where everyone was expected to fulfil their traditional roles.
I think part of the point of the show was that strict adherence to religion, but also the expectations of others, can bring about deep unhappiness when people did what they thought they were supposed to do , rather than stay true to themselves.
Bloberta and Clay weren't just unhappily married, they were truly, unhappy with every facet of their lives and the Episode Alone showed nearly everyone in Moralton to feel that way. They were all sad and isolated. From themselves, from each other, from the G0d they were supposed to have so much faith in.
