The gay was never removed and the raws further confirms this. The reading comprehension devil is beating your ass. How can the gay be removed if that’s what’s always been one of the core themes and what it’s been building up to, it’s clear the author has been planting those seeds and if you didn’t catch it you haven’t been reading correctly. If you want the author to be all up in your face with queer stuff to understand then that’s a you thing.
