The films that Christian watches on video with Cher - Some Like It Hot and Spartacus - provide clues to his sexual orientation. The first movie deals with cross-dressing men. The second includes the famous scene where a Roman master (Laurence Olivier) tries to seduce his male servant (Tony Curtis). The book Christian is reading during class, Junky, by William S. Burroughs, is another clue and indication of his sexual orientation - as the author, Burroughs had strong homosexual desires.
