Gay Interest
Under keywords you use the term "gay interest". Why? I saw no gay interest or interaction, discussion or sex. Can two adolescent males build a friendship, attend the same school, go hiking, collect coins, visit each others house or just hang out without being called (in this case by you) "gay". Did I only see an edited version of this film? Were there porno scenes of wild gay sex I missed either between Konrad and Hans or with other anti Semites at the gymnasium. Did I miss a forced gang rape scene. Hans had an attraction for Konrad like following him but that was more due to his being a Count and a celebrity at the school. At least to me. I never saw Hans as wanting to drop to his knees and service the handsome Count. There was no scene of Konradin pulling his trousers down and his shirt up. Or did I miss that?
"Gay Interest" what is the definition of that definition. Am I wrong? Is it since there are two young men developing a tight bond of friendship it might stimulate the "Gay Interest" of some viewer? Or is it attraction of any kind of a male to another male is "Gay Interest"? I admire Peyton Manning for his athletic skill and success. Am I gay? Do I have "Gay Interest" in him? If "Gay Interest" is only the attraction or friendship or admiration of another man isn't every man gay? If you admire the shirt a friend has on, is that gay? If you want to be friends with someone, is that gay? I hate to ask this question. If you become friends with a gay man or worse want to become friends with a gay man, is that gay? By those definitions I am gay. But only the most self centered, unfriendly, hateful people I have ever known would not be gay.
