Apparently, gays can't have any subtly or their experience is invalid and they do not exist.

This is the worst argument. Yes, you do not "win" unless you make a character's same gender love explicit. If you think the two options are never saying that he loved or was attracted to another man in a romantic fashion and yelling the word GAY (which is of course tasteless and cheap, and that's what out gay people apparently are to you) at the reader, I don't know what to tell you.

But the thing is, I thought it pretty damn obvious he had the hots for his friend and the way the entire fight between them played out felt like a really bad lover's spat. But no, it does have to be spelled out for people to accept and that's a double goddamn standard to this big ol' lesbian who gets tired of having to have that spelled out because otherwise they HAVE to be straight. It's stupid. No one expects that of straight couples, but the second someone isn't straight, it has to be so explicit that it's basically a joke.

If saying "She was in love with this woman" sounds like a joke to you, that's your problem. Straight people are explicitly referred to as in love, married, in relationships, hopelessly pining etc all the time. Your argument makes no sense.
