So was Christian gay?


I felt like that never was explained clear enough after Murray said he thought he was light in the loafers. I always thought he was kidding and Christian was just shy. If he was gay, why did he go out with Cher and seem affectionate with her?

reply

Yes he's gay. There were other hints and clues all over the movie to indicate this.

He befriended Cher bc he knew she was popular in the social scene, knew many people, invited to many parties etc which was good for him.

reply

I believe it was basically said he was gay by Cher.

Sincerely, jnorgle, the person that can't think of a better signature than this.

He's a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde-reading, Streisand ticket-holding friend of Dorothy, know what I'm saying?

Your friend Christian is a Cake Boy!

You actually question this? I figured it out when they went to the party. He didn't look at any other girl because he was checking out other guys. And started dancing with another guy when she was dancing with her back to him. It was pretty obvious.

Murray told Cher that and she confirms it by groaning in embarrassment and basically laughing at herself for being so dumb. So she confirms it for you that he's gay.

I believe Christian liked her for her personality and fashion and lifestyle, so he became good friends with her. They were basically fashion buddies. He was her GBF (Gay Best Friend).

reply

I think he just thought she was cool and wanted to be her friend.

They weren't really dating, just hanging out together. At least to him. She thought/hoped it was more.

reply

It was obvious he was gay the way he started dancing with dude at the party.

Also when Cher tried hitting on him when he went to her house, he freaked out and went home. He also had a thing for Tony Curtis movies.

I don't know if he was gay. He might have been bi

other teen boys aren't really the final answer on each other's sexuality btw. Would have been a neat sequel to see where the two end up.

He was aggressive when Tai was in danger @ the mall and in the early 90's it was still common to show solidly gay men as passive/not macho.

reply

Yes, he was gay and he became Cher's favorite shopping partner.

reply

No, he was straight.

What straight guy wouldn't want to be a beautiful girl's favorite shopping partner, rather than her boyfriend!
