He wasn't comfortable with his friend doing exactly what he was doing. Yeah - homophobic.
That's what bugged me the most - their behavior was EXACTLY the same. The only difference was the gender of their partners. If Nate had had a problem with "hookups" in general, it still wouldn't have been his business, but I would have been more sympathetic. This was just the sort of "covert" homophobia that allows people to say, "I'm fine with gay people... So long as they keep their gay somewhere I can't see it." :(
As for them being "friends"... Frank was genuinely hurt by Nate's behavior and yet Frank's the one who winds up apologizing for getting drunk and expressing it by tearing up the house. Okay, now that I type that, maybe his way of expressing it wasn't cool, but Nate's "defense"... *vomits*
Alarm bells went off in my head when the article spoke about Nate's trip to the gay bar. I have this awful image of him staring at the other patrons there like fish in a bowl, :(. Or worse yet, picking a fight with someone who hits on him.
