I never thought of Gatsby as homosexual. There are suggestions that Nick is in love with Gatsby but this is only conjecture. It is true that many critics feel that Jordan Baker represents a lesbian figure but you would have to go into the subtle details to explore this idea. This is only a short answer forum space.
