Spoilers: Were they a gay couple?

What are your thoughts on the guys that kiss each other in the lips after taking the capsules? Were they a gay couple who had to hide because of the cult thing?

In my opinion, that should have had more development, it seemed it was just kind of trowed in there for not any particular reason...
