In from the Side / int_d32cd9f5	comment	Cast Full of Gay: The vast majority of the characters in this film are queer men, which is a given because of its setting. It also conveniently allows them to sidestep the expected homophobia of the athletic world.

In from the Side / int_e67ff203	comment	Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Part of what leads Mark to starting an affair with Warren is his boyfriend's frequent business trips, giving him an out to see Warren as frequently as he does. Subverted in that Mark states they technically are in an open relationship, but with the specific rule that Mark can't sleep with someone more than once... which he quickly ignores.

Subverted in that Mark himself is nowhere near as well-off on his own and is definitely not the breadwinner in his relationship with Richard.
