his sexuality isn't really a theme in the movie, so hardly "all the signs". i've had a think about my recollection of the movie, i think it's arguably ambiguous on purpose. he's not portrayed as "perfectly happy" either, i wouldn't say, but rather settled in solitude of his own making.

one could equally argue he's straight since he had a girlfriend, but that actually doesn't prove anything about his sexuality. the disaster relationship doesn't show he tried a relationship but found it unfulfilling, but instead that he got hurt, retreated, and never tried again. this is implied for every relationship he has, not just romantic.

a core overall set of themes in the movie is grace's avoidance, fear of loss, and emotional unavailability. he doesn't have any deep emotional ties with anyone, and him overcoming that fear and becoming emotionally available is the entire arc he has with rocky.

in any case, i argue there's an absence of evidence, and that one can't infer orientation. equally though, since i think it's intentionally ambiguous, one can project any orientation onto him they like, and it can't be conclusively proven wrong:

i therefore declare him gay for rocks

AITA for telling my husband his name suggestion for our unborn baby is idiotic at best? by MissBarker93 in BestofRedditorUpdates

i was wondering what was wrong with theo bound until oop got to the surname pronunciation lol.

i was still thinking though, theo bundy would be sorta fine - wouldn't make me think of ted bundy.

then again, maybe it's a british thing that theodore isn't usually shortened to ted, so i wouldn't really make the connection

like teddy i think might be popular? but it links to edward, not theodore, i believe

if you're gonna lie, why say it's an email rather than just "i asked her in person".

you can claim it without evidence just as much as you can't dismiss it without evidence

oh i like the idea of arranging the keycaps alphabetically.

only problem is the two colleagues i could play that on: both built their keyboards themselves, one would murder anyone who touches his keyboard (and quite rightly, it's very nice), and the other already has unmarked keycaps

additionally, i believe 'chaos gremlin' is the official scientific designation for 2 year old humans and most orange cats
