    Is it? I have seen it lumped into the category, but I watched it and it didn't really make any type of commentary on the LGBT community. What do you consider it?

    There are elements, which are much more expressly explored in the book.

    It was released at a time when LGBT issues and portrayals were rare in Hollywood films so it seemed pretty gay to a lot of people at the time.
