As far as sex goes, HBO Max’s dark teen drama Euphoria loves to distort the lines. Much like the current arrogances of Gen Z, sexuality on the show is on a band, fluid, and can even change day to day, or episode to episode. Characters on the display don’t just say, “I’m gay.” They are simply involved to whom they are attracted.
But questions everywhere Nate’s sexuality, in particular, have only deepened as his sex life becomes more and more recognized by the other characters.
Spoilers for Season 2, Episode 7 ahead.
All season long, Lexi has been inscription a play. Forever the wallflower, the quiet teen has been taking note of the disordered lives around her and cramming fasting into a show.

Seemingly remarking on the homoeroticism of the locker room, an actor representing Nate leads his shirtless and glistening colleagues through a steamy recital of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero.”
Nate, offended, spurts out of the auditorium, shrugging off Cassie’s clichés as he storms out, flinging out, “That’s, like, so homophobic.”
Viewers are maxim that’s the pot calling the kettle black since Nate is the homophobic one now.
It’s a dryness to Nate’s sexuality that is complicated.
