Like someone pointed out five pages ago, Gus said Max is close like a brother, and people don't say to their girlfriend, hey, you're like a sister to me. Gus isn't gay.

Fucking accidentally saw the first line of the blurb for Episode 13. Someone console me that it wasn't such a big spoiler. What I saw was
A showdown with Gus occurs

errr how is that a big spoiler. Walt has been alluding to it the past few episodes. It was always the likely direction.Superimposer said:

I thought the term
showdown
a violent or fateful resolution rather than just some innocuous meeting

Indeed.
oh, there was already one gay drug dealer on TV, guess it's no longer fresh then
and everyone involved in the "is Gus gay" discussion is part of what's wrong with society. Go read your fugly girlfriend's People magazine if you want to find out about whether Gus is gay. Because that's the crowd that question is important to.

Also, a character being gay can have a huge effect on how the audience views him in some cases. Take Omar for example. His homosexuality influenced the decisions he made and also the way other characters viewed him and interacted with him. In that case it was important that the audience know his sexuality. Not saying Gus's sexuality, if he is indeed gay, will be nearly as important as Omar's in the terms of the plot of the show, but my point is simply that it is not shallow to discuss the sexual orientation of certain characters in regards to the nature of their relationships with other characters.
In Gus's flashback for instance, it never crossed my mind that his partner might also be his boyfriend or lover. I simply saw him as a good friend. He was so distraught over his partner's death because he had put so much work and money into making this man a master chemist and it was all undone in the blink of an eye. This seems consistent with the cold, calculating demeanor that we've seen from Gus thus far. On the other hand though, if we were to find out Gus was actually gay and this man was his lover it would add a more human element to Gus's character and change the way I view him. It wouldn't just be some pointless gossip.
I brought up the chili thing during the episode RIGHT when Don Eladio said picante and nobody cared. :/
This is a pretty dickhead way of putting it, but you're actually right. For now, it doesn't matter whether Gus is gay or not. We know he loved Max, as a brother or something more. That's all we need to understand his motivation for the war against the cartel.Smision said:

i'm trying to figure out why being interested in a character on a television show makes me part of what's "wrong with society".

Yes he was. It shows him reselling (having a little hopper doing so no less) the drugs he previously stole in the first season. What do you think he does with the drugs he steals? Uses them?

From a purely objective standpoint, it probably is important information (whether we're ever told or not) as to whether Gus' relationship with Max was platonic or not in terms of character motivation. A romantic relationship of any orientation definitely changes expectations of behaviour.
If you want to know if Gus is gay because the very fact of him being gay changes the way you feel about him or his character, that might be a little bit more questionable.
Also, while I don't think anything's really been spoiled re. The Wire (there's no character secret exposed, afaik), I do think that discussion has probably gone far enough. If it goes any farther it probably will go into real spoilers.

Omar being gay surprised the hell out of me but it's revealed very early. I think in his second appearance.
