Nobody does better research than you, so I buy all of it.
However, in either the comic, or in the movie, I haven’t seen a single thing that made me go, “Ew, whoa, that’s gay.”
I can’t define pornography, as it were, but I know it when I see it.
If DP ends up dumping Morena Baccarin (how?) and going for some other gay superhero, then, well, the comic book world gets a little bit dimmer.
Well thank you.

A lot of it is subtle. I had a vague recollection of several "gay" things occurring in the pizza guy scene, so I went and looked at it on you tube.
When DeadPool comes out of the bathroom and notices the Pizza, he says "Sweeeet and Saaaalty." Later in the scene he says: "Give a look in her general direction again, and you will learn in the worst of ways that I have some hard spots too." Then he says: "That came out wrong.... or did it?" He then kisses the Pizza guy on the cheek.
Just looked at youtube and found someone else noticed some of the gay stuff I and my wife noticed when we saw it. Watch these excerpts and see if you agree.
Also I recall DeadPool hiding the engagement ring in his bum, and Baccarin referencing the use of "strapons".

My thinking is that they did this to de-gayify him for the audiences which they know would vomit at scenes of male on male activity. According to an interview with the creator of DeadPool and Ryan Reynolds, they are wanting him to have a boyfriend in a future episode.
I think they will launch that idea whenever they think they've got sufficient popularity with his character. Had they launched it out of the gate, DeadPool would have cratered.
