Could Nathan Drake, theoretically, be gay?

I think it's a tired trite cliche to have someone have strong romantic relationships with women then suddenly come out as gay in the final act. It's like fluidity in sexual orientation in adults is a legit and real thing, but only if it's hetero becoming gay, of course.

And so what if Harry makes homoerotic statements? That just suggests Harry was gay, and that's all fine. Nothing wrong with a gay friend engaging in gay banter with a heterosexual friend. God forbid that gay and straight men ever become friends. If you're friends with a gay man that must make you gay right? Damn, I have a few gay friends. Shit I better come out because I must be gay. Best start divorce proceeding with my wife then.

I have no issues at all with gay characters in games. I just find it really tiresome when people come out in the manner that is suggested in this OP. It really makes no sense and it would seem forced.

I just want to point out that in no way am I saying that Nathan Drake is or should be gay. I know he's not, and to be fair, I don't care if he's gay or straight or whatever. I wasn't using that example as "Hey, Drake's friend makes gay comments, so he's gay too!" I was only saying that Naughty Dog has a history of having homosexual themes in their games. That is it.

I could see Sully coming out. Older guy, grew up in a less tolerant era so he repressed his sexual attraction to men and overcompensated by developing rather a reputation with the ladies, but never had a serious hetero relationships and is not a commitment kind of guy. Takes a young Nate under his wing, develops a very strong bond of affection for Nate, even though he's basically a criminal so wouldn't be expected to have any loyalty but to himself. Nothing at all sexual or creepy, just a strong intimate attachment, a way for him to have the intimate male relationship he subconsciously craves without having to acknowledge that what he wants is a homosexual relationship. Sully's back story (that we know of) lends itself to him actually being a repressed homosexual, much more so than any contrivance of Nate being gay.
