I strongly believe that Gus is not homosexual. You might as well call Walt gay if you're headed for a stretch like that one. Just because two men work together to achieve something doesn't make them gay for each other. They might hug, they might even kiss, but it'd be a family-like gesture. You don't call Walt and Jesse gay even when they work together in close quarters for hours... When you enter into an endeavor such as the one Gus and Max were working together on, you become more than friends, you become Hermanos. They are not gay. If the writers wanted you to know they were gay, you would have no doubt. I see people referring to Omar Little. Well, we knew Omar was gay when the writers for 'The Wire' showed him french kissing a man.
Gus did mention kids, and did have quite a large home. I think the writers want us to believe he has a family. Not that that would prove anything concretely either. Interestingly, though, after Hank did his initial investigation on Gus, he didn't mention Gus' wife or children. "Guy drives a 10 year old Volvo," is about all Hank has said in detail to Gus' lifestyle.
Hector pissing in the pool while mocking Gus was not meant to be homophobic, it's merely a sleight of hand Hector was using to demonstrate Alpha and Dominance over the area and the situation. Further, they don't get Gus or Max a drink. It's subtle demonstrations of power, like when Mike won't let Jesse smoke in his car, until Jesse proves Alpha, then Jesse gets to light up. It has nothing to do with gay.
Gus being very emotional to Max's death was not a homosexual thing either. Gus had spent thousands of dollars, and thousands of hours AT LEAST getting Max the education and the equipment needed to cook meth - exactly the same as he did with Gale. And remember, even Jesse knew how rare and expensive a good meth cook is, he mentioned before along the lines of "it's too much work for Gus to retrain, re-educate, and trust the silence of a new cook." So when the cartel made Gus stare at Max's bleeding head-wound, you can count the money and hours Gus lost in each drop of blood into the pool. I'd be pretty *beep* mad myself. I might even squirm around and squeal like Gus was doing.
Lastly, I don't even think Gale was a gay person. Was he living with a man in his apartment? Was he living with anyone? There are many people who just prefer to be alone. They don't like men or women, they just like being alone. Gale was an odd person, yes, but not gay. Not even bisexual.
Remember guys - this isn't some CBS or NBC melodrama, garbage-can, serial-thriller piece of trash show. This is a show about realistic things and realistic people in realistic situations. If Gale Boetticher had a girlfriend or a wife/kids don't you think that would be a bit OFF THE MARK for his character? On a less serious, more trash-baggy show you might even see the character of Gale portrayed with a girlfriend - only to make you feel more comfortable towards the character. Sounds like something Disney might do. Get with it people.
