Paulo actually auditioned for the Kett Turton role, so it's not like he was unaware of a gay sex scene. It wasn't particularly graphic, so get over it... and if you're offended by gay sex scenes in quasi-mainstream-indie flicks, make sure to avoid "Wet, Hot American Summer" (which was marketed in the guise of an '80s T&A flick).

I was not offended by the scene - believe it or not, I actually do understand its significance. Clive was unsure of his sexuality and having that moment with Troy helped him to clarify who he was. I was just curious of Paulo's decision to play a role that would go that far.
Thank you for the clarification - you've been most enlightening TVJunkie!

Whoops! Didn't mean to come off catty there... All of the actors knew going into the film that there was going to be nudity, according to the director on the commentary. That's also where I heard that Paulo originally auditioned for Kett's role. I'm sure Paulo would've done a good job if he'd gotten the role, but I can't imagine him playing it goth...

Very true - and don't worry, no harm, no foul =o). I'm very impressed with your knowledge base. How did you know that?
