Reasons I believe David is either gay or has a Masc preference
He’s the only lost boy who didn’t immediately flirt w/ Maria (worker at video store)
The man doesn’t even glance at her
Literally every scene with Michael is him flirting with him
If he’s not flirting he’s asking Michael to join him
even after Marko’s death, he’s still pleading with Michael to join, knowing he played a role in his brothers death
I’m bringing up the flying fight scene bc Michael just looks pissed and David seems kinda into it
He let Michael get away with punching him even though the officer was murdered for just restraining him
Yes I know max probably told him not to kill Sam or Michael, but he didn’t even throw a punch or let one of the others punch him back
Anytime Michael grabs at his shirt or gets close to him he smirks
The movie was made in the 80s and I think vampirism symbolizes the AIDS epidemic of the time, which was targeted as a “gay” disease
He tends to treat Michael how many other vampire medias show a male vampire treating the female love interest
When Star gets on the back of his bike after Michael chases her, he smiles as soon as he noticed Michael looking in his direction, even though it wasn’t aimed at him
In the 80s, having a single earring was considered gay, he & the other lost boys only have one
Again with vampirism= queer, Michael gets 1 ear piercing after becoming half
He stares at Michael as he lets go and falls at the bridge
I know ppl think he and Star had a thing, but I don’t at all
The scene most ppl get this idea from is when Star is about to leave with Michael, and he sternly calls her to his bike
I see this as protectiveness of his pack mate and jealously that she has captured Michaels interest
Other than that scene, there is no indication that David (or the 3 others) are/ have dated Star, even though she is the only female in the group
All four males sleep close together, meanwhile Star and Laddie sleep in a separate room, even though it would be very possible to bring sleeping things like blankets, pillows, and if they put in some effort a mattress
I think this is bc the back room they sleep in is a couple bedroom, and Star and laddie don’t fit the criteria
The boys are very protective of laddie and Star, so I don’t see why else they would let them sleep in a part of the cave where they can’t protect them in the day
I’m mentioning the tension between him and Michael again bc THERE IS NO STRAIGHT EXPLANATION FOR THE WAY THOSE TWO LOOK AT/ ACT AROUND EACHOTHER
When he’s messing with Michael’s food at the cave and Star tells him to stop, he grin drops, which I believe is bc she interrupted what he saw as playful banter/ flirting (here)
Bc I’m a queer man and I said so
I probably missed some but it doesn’t matter bc I’m gonna add on to this if I think of more
