Evan is more gay than Seth.
But they are both gay.

When Evan is with the girl in the bed, look carefully at his face and how he’s kind of disgusted by her kissing him. That’s a dead giveaway.

I didnt think they were really gay when i first saw the movie. but my girl at the time said that seth was. I watched this movie nearly every night for the past two weeks and i still laugh and watch the movie very carefully for like facial expressions and hidden jokes and dialogue. Point is, i think its more plausible that seth is bi curious or bisexual at the least. im not too sure if hes fully gay and theres no way to say that for sure anyway. I think evan is definitely straight, hes just akward and sweet and that comes off as gay to some people.

And am I the only one who thought that they might have had sex that night at the end of the movie? Did you see how awkward they behaved that next morning…like that awkward one night stand feeling.

I think Evan was definitely gay too, and not just a bit dorky and naive. Not only was he saying "can’t we just kiss?" when his crush was all over him (and he kept on telling her how pretty she was: he wanted to look at her, not actually be with her … it’s quite common for gay teenagers to crush on pretty girls) rather than ramming his cock into her mouth, but I also think that the scene in Home Ec class was a bigger giveaway, with Evan and his effeminate Asian Home Ec partner putting on each others’ aprons, drawing on each others’ faces with flour and making perfect cakes.

Really?!? I don’t think they’re gay when I watch it! I mean, I completely see where you all are coming from- but I just thought (and still think) that they are just pathetic kids with no self confidence (in Evan’s case) and misplaced self confidence (in Seth’s case). I think all of the queer things they do are just their awkward moments because they’re losers and have no idea what to do with women because all they do is hang out with each other… I will definitely watch it again though, and look for it haha.

so so obvious! thank you.

other hints:
Evan was so apprehensive about having sex with a girl that he didn’t touch her once as she attempted to have sex with him. She said "you have a smooth cock" and he said "you would too if you were a guy". I think that there are a lot of hints but the movie makes sure that it isn’t too obvious by making sure that the gay-ness is undone by other parts of the plot line or some gay joke.

I totally guessed that they were gay however, this kinda of didn’t make for the best of endings. Overall though this movie gets my two thumbs up.

Damn straight Sonicswoon (somehow I feel like one of those jokes, “So are you ImsoFine69? I’m LatinLover109.”).

I don’t think an epilogue would have made the movie as great. The best part is that we can have the discussion of whether they are gay or not. You can say it either way. It is a lot like Donnie Darko, if they came out and explained everything, then it wiouldn’t have been as good as a movie.

However, I think movie goers want resolutions. I did like how “Fog” had an ending, albeit a seriously screwed up one. If they had it like the book (first movie?), then I would have been pissed.

I rather like that they don’t come out and really sold the movie for me, besides the thousand other humorous situations.

I think its was intended that Evan is actually straight, just very innocent and sort of a romantic type and Seth is actually gay but doesn’t admit it to himself yet.
The last scene at the mall was pretty symbolic of that…Evan goes off to have his long awaited date with the girl he likes/loves and Seth goes off to help the girl he "likes" buy makeup… they both end up with the girls they’ve been pursuing and end up in the type of relationship they are actually comfortable with and want to have. Straight girls are ALWAYS the first best friend gay boys after they come out. Its significant that they of the separation they are about experience at different colleges and of the life styles they will both follow.
They might as well have slapped an epilogue onto the end that shows Evan finally sleeping with his girl (sorry can’t remember her name) by the end of the summer and Seth coming out to Jules in the same time frame.

Frick’n awesome movie.

Yeah, I figured they were gay although it kinda makes the ending pretty sad. What was telling for me was the scene in the home economics class with the Asian kid made up like a tiger by Evan. Oh yeah and like the ten thousand dick references.

Also women are portrayed in the film as something that the duo are expected to want by each other – a kind of self fulfilling prophecy that they keep testing each other with.

Good film though, am sure lots of gay teens can relate, I wonder if men in loveless marriages watched this and sighed.
