Gus and his first cook Max could have been lovers, or they could have been best friends. The fact that Gus Is hell bent to avenging his death over two decades later adds credibility to Gus being in love with Max
shareYes he is gay, after Max was killed Gale became Gus’s new lover which was a reason why Gus freaked out when Gale was killed.
shareIf you pay attention to the subtext, it is heavily implied that Gus is gay with Victor. He ended up slitting his throat because Gus knew that Tyrus had caught Victor’s affection, ( Gus saw them blowing each other on the lab’s security camera) and he’d rather kill him than lose him to one of his employees. Notice when gus is slitting his throat, he’s cradling victor like one would a lover. The box cutter scene is so genius because it works on so many levels - it serves as a warning for his wayward employees and provide Gus with an act of sexual sublimation
shareWas Gus Fring gay? Uh, yes.
It was so obvious you see it from space.
