Unlike some other reviews, I'm not sure we know whether he is gay or not, I thk was left very open at the end.
You uld feel Hathaway's pa and anguish at lettg down his gay iend and also lettg down Lewis, by not beg straight forward wh all that he knew about the ad Innocent and Lewis workg together at the end, very rare! It managed to sult both gay people AND relignists.
