In the movie, all of the people present -- including all of the guys -- eventually faint at the end of "Honestly Sincere."

except that is not the same thing... everyone fainting does imply that it's purely a gay sexual attraction (even if it is the power of his sexuality)... one guy fainting along with the girl makes a clear indication that the guy is gay.

Agreed, it makes it much more explicit than the group-fainting scene.

It was about the context. It was clear the boy was attracted to Conrad. Much different than all the boys fainting.

Yes, it's a nod to Gone With the Wind with everyone lying down dead. I'm of course saying that showing a young man fainting over Birdie because he is gay is NOT an "update."
