GIANT LTLE ON ENDG EXPLAED: WAS FRANKY REALLY GAY?
Was Franky really gay? After a lengthy discsn, His father, who is gay too, draws the ncln that while he might not yet be fully aware of himself, he shouldn’t sh to fe himself.
Giant Ltle On is neher straight nor gay. We see How homophobia, or even a mor about someone’s alternative sexualy, may stroy and liv. Ballas, due to ternalized homophobia, was unable to procs what had happened and, as a rult, jured both himself and others.
Sports play an important role the film, and we get a glimpse si the filmmakers’ perspective of the acceptance of gay athlet sports.

For my money, I thought the film over-played the “homophobia” hand a b too much, particularly when me to the swim team.
Soon after, Ballas eaks out and spreads an unte mor around school that Franky molted him, which leav Franky the target of homophobic bullyg, stgglg wh the unrolved fact his father Ray (Kyle MacLachlan) me out as gay and left his mother for a man, and grapplg wh an attractn to Ballas’ sympathetic sister, Natasha (Taylor Hickson).
I thk anybody who has known or been around someone who had more of an abstract sexualy or intified as gay or bisexual n see how others view that person. Would homophobia would be a thg of the past? – homophobia is still holdg steady.
