Was the computer hacker ( Skip Tyler) gay??


Just curious it kinda looked that way. What was the deal with the lollipops anyway?

Boston and Philly love to slander us, but they don t have as many fans as us

he was quirky, but i didn't get a hint either way of his sexual preferences.

He was as camp as a Brighton bus queue!!!

Maybe he enjoys lollipops? What the *beep*

Who cares? What difference would it make? And as for the lollipops, well, that's called a character trait or a quirk - it's as old as the hills as far as characterizations go in story-telling.

No they wouldn't make a bad guy in a movie like this gay. Remember it was right wing white supremeists who took over the White House. Only conservatives can be the bad guys in this movie.

I think he was just playful (which may seem a bit camp to some) and this was just like a big game for him and the lollipop was probably meant to help symbolize that, like he was a big kid having fun with his computers thinking he was so clever but obviously he flew too close to the sun on that.

I don't think he was gay. Maybe because of the way he sounded? As to the lollipops, it was just to give him a character thing.
