: I developed a theory about a metaphor in the movie, but I haven't read it anywhere and am constantly accused of reading too much into things.
Depends on what metaphor your going for. Growing up how I am, I identified greatly with the weaving of Bobby Drake's plot. I've had my mom ask me, "couldnt you try not being gay?" and then ask if I could at least become a priest.
I think there were metaphors throughout the film that apply not only to sexual orientation, but racial and gender issues as well.
