not clear or forgot whether Henry Gibson gay?

[–] MikeGrossman34 8 years ago

It's never stated as such in the series. One could infer that from his close friendship with Matthew and his bachelor status. Regardless, Henry is not relationship material for man or woman.

Thanks. I would have thought that he might have faked it to ensure Matthew's long-term confidence.

I assumed that he was bi - he slept with the sex worker Cara, who stole Grace's necklace from him.

Cara had slept with a woman when she stole the trophies

I think not. She stole jewellery here. We are led to believe she stole trophies which we find were Henry's and I am now supposing that this happened after Henry Killed his ? sister taking the coke dispenser. Mind you cara tells her friend that she bought this with the money she earned from the sale of stolen goods. She also stole off the wan*er who she beat the crap out of. Well he liked beating his meat off to her so she just went a stage further and beat his meat for him. Must admit that young lady had some thighs but face a bit pimply under the fleshtones.

That's what I thought too. But where did she get them?

Henry's whole goal was to kill his sister. He wouldn't have just given his trophy away to anyone. So either we're mistaken in that she got those items from the woman or Henry did sleep with Cara. With the point of depicting Cara stealing from the woman just to show Cara had a pattern of sleeping with people and then stealing from them.

But I agree with the other poster, Henry seemed asexual. Or, more likely, he was just a psychopath. Too crazy to be interested in sex. Henry siad, the only person he knew well was Matthew. So he was a loner.

That his best friend was gay doesn't make Henry gay particularly if you know they've been friends since they were little kids. If they had met and became friends later in life, then maybe. But they met as pre-pubescent boys.

I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.

Yes, the point of showing Cara stealing from the woman and going to the pawn shop was to establish her behavior. She goes into the pawn shop with the trophies on a completely different day, so presumably, they are from a different hookup that she's robbed. (Because that woman obviously isn't going to invite her back and why wouldn't she pawn everything at once?)

I agree that just because Matthew is gay doesn't mean Henry is. They grew up together. We know Henry does like women, but there's no indication he is gay or bisexual. Though I don't really know why that matters.
