Like, WHAT?! That alone makes gay people look bad and contagious, which is something that I cannot support at all. Oh well, at least it wasn't blatantly clear about the theme, I suppose.I am not so certain if Jessie was attracted to Schneider, only curious due to his own "alluded" to nature and Schneider was an homosexual adult. Freddy sent him out on his mission, to sexually lure him and kill him. Jesse would have been more attracted to Grady, but this wasn't something that was made blatant, only perhaps suggested in a line of dialogue when Jesse goes to Grady's room, after he can't make out with Lisa and then wants Grady to watch him sleep because there is something inside of him. Grady tells him something of the sort..."Yeah! She's female and waiting in the cabana, and you want to sleep with me". Killing Grady then, could be perceived as a punishment of gay rejection. Since the film wanted us to believe it was Freddy possessing Jesse and the one that was doing the killing and not him, it gives Jesse an out...no pun intended. The film was too simpleminded and dumb with the homosexual subtext though, to take it seriously as homophobia.
It was a pretty good sequence though, with Jesse turning into Freddy and Grady freaking out and yelling for his father to help and protect him.
