Are Parker and Lombaugh gay?

For some reason I am now seeing a lot of subtle and not so subtle hints that they might be gay- Parker in particular.

I saw no indication of them being gay.

Seeing as how I am a straight person I don't think it says anything about me. If someone thinks aliens exist does that automatically make them an alien?

I HIGHLY doubt they are gay. Especially at the end. If they were sexually active together, you would think that Longbaugh's reaction to Parker being shot would have been much stronger. And while they were dying together, you think they'd at least want to die in each other's arms or at least closer than they were apart. There's plenty of evidence that shows Longbaugh to be heterosexual as well without a sex scene.

I don't think so. For example, when the hookers run out of the brothel, Del Toro's character slaps a particularly voluptuous one on her ass. Doesn't seem like the action of a gay man. Also there seems to be some weird sort of romantic chemistry between Phillippe and Lewis, a lot of eye flashing back and forth going on. And of course, right in the beginning when the melee breaks out behind the club, Del Toro uses the opportunity to grab a hot girl standing nearby and forcefully kiss her.

Conclusion: they aren't gay.

I guess all you people missed the part where Mr. Parker tells the story of him raping a (male) child molester. That's pretty gay

He killed a child molester...didn't rape him.

Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.
