Ummmm...I seen the film a few times....they weren't????? I thought they were. How do you know they weren't?

I guess it is possible I am confused but as I remember it the Marine father thought his son and the neighbor were having sex when all they were doing is rolling a doobie (the son was after the daughter, not the father)

Later the Marine father goes over and tries to kiss the other father who then tells him he does not swing that way. Later the Marine murders the other father (most likely because he is tormented over his latent homosexuality).

WAIT A MINUTE, you guys are talking about the gay couple that had a very very small part in the movie. OK, they were presented in a positive light – but the Marine murderer seemed to kill in response to his latent homosexuality and that is far from a positive presentation of homosexuality.

"I guess it is possible I am confused "

You were not mistaken.

The author of this piece was completely wrong and obviously does not know what he's talking about, at least in relation to the movie. The father and the teen were not homosexual, but the uptight Marine, who apparently was a latent homosexual, thought they were. This movie had some weird stuff that I'm sure the author would not agree with, but it most certainly was NOT a positive or approving depiction of homosexuality.
