* AmbiguouslyBi / AmbiguouslyGay: He has occasional moments of HoYay with male characters, especially Manny, and is terribly awkward and often unenthusiastic when pursuing women, even if he's honestly interested in them. In the second episode he said he used to think he was gay, but decided against it because of the dancing and standards of hygiene, rather than lacking attraction to men.
