J.D. being gay - minor error


When Wayne & J.D. are digging up the grave, J.D. says: "Oh my god. This chick is totally stacked."

If he was gay, then what would he care? Or was it deliberately done to show that he had not yet come out of the closet? Thoughts? :)

I've seen this movie plenty of times and I think it was just Judith's manipulation that made him think he was gay all along. I mean, remember the part when Judith and Wayne got into it and she said "If you're not gay, then have you ever been with a woman?" or something like that. Of course, there was that line when JD said "I thought his ass looked tighter.". It's kind of confusing, if you ask me.

He wasn't gay. The girl was a psychologist and she messed with his mind and made him believe that he was gay in order to gain his confidence and escape. It was all a mind game. I thought it was all pretty obvious. You'de think if he was gay he would have known a long time ago.

I thought it was pretty obvious that he was gay and he was just pretending to be straight because that is what "society" says a man is supposed to act like or that is what he thought. The fact that he stayed gay and even got married makes it pretty obvious that he was gay and that he had been confused the whole time. A lot of people suppress those feelings until something changes and they realize who they really are. Most liberal screen writers would never hint at the fact that being gay is something a person is conditioned to think.

 Thats the way I always interpreted it.

I think J.D. was confused about his sexuality and Judith helped realize that he was gay.

The first question Judith asked, before any so called "manipulation", was "would you have sex with a man"? Now, if he wasn't gay, he would have answered "no" right away but he had Judith clarify what kind of man, which tells me that J.D. has considered sleeping with a man.

Judith used her "Hannibal Lechter intellect" on him and he went from thinking chicks were stacked to finding the coach hot. His mind was so weak Judith could have turned him gay, then straight, then whatever else she wanted him to be. He was more pliable than Darren.

no, JD was gay. Remember his love of Bette Midler, his preference for track lighting, and the fact that he likes sucking di...

so what does being gay have to do with acknowledging that someone is totally stacked?

At the beginning, he says "How did DARREN get the hottie of hotties [JUDITH]?", or something like that. Gay people who think they're straight act like straight people.

After watching this movie a few times I have changed my view... At first I thought that it was Judith manipulating him to be gay but after a few more viewings, I now think he was gay and she used her intellect to make him realize it.. Either way its not an issue but what made me realize it was the conversations he had that indicate he was confused about his sexuality and Judith led him to acknowledge he was

No, you know the one thing that bugged me was when they were abducting Judith, the part where she dunks J.D.'s head in the toilet, I thought, how could the toilet seat possibly be left up in that house? Where Darren lives with someone who grants him masturbation privileges? That was all.

Just because you're gay, doesn't mean you can't notice when a member of the opposite sex is good-looking. If he had said something like "I want to take her to bed with me," that might have been a goof. If you watch the Ellen DeGeneres Show, she fawns over actors who are in shape all the time.
