Was Eames gay?

[DreamArchitect]

I was just wondering if anyone else thought Eames was gay? I've been going on for MONTHS about how Arthur and Eames make a much better couple than Arthur and Ariadne. And I've read people's theories that Eames might possibly be a gay man? Some people's 'evidence' is quite supportive. One evidence is how Cobb and Eames are discussing inception and Eames awkwardly says 'the relationship with the father' and Cobb nods knowingly. Of course, not all gays have bad relationships with their parents (I'm gay) and there's also signs of Eames' constant flirtation with Arthur. Does anyone else think he's gay? Thanks!

I don't think it really matters.

Well...it may not matter...but it's quite interesting IMO.

Not suggesting anything at all with this, but it made me chuckle when I read it -

I'm very much in the does it matter brigade on this one.

Not being snarky here but...what is quite interesting about it? Eames' sexuality has no bearing on the movie as far as I can tell. The interaction between Eames and Arthur could be seen as brotherly just as easily as being latent homosexuality (see Fight Club). I guess it just depends on your point of view.

Does it matter if Eames is gay or not? No. End of story.
