Queering Gatsby

So if you didn't already know, I love films. All kinds. I'm also taking a film theory course and one of the topics we've talked about recently is that of queer films or queering films. A key tenant is the idea that there are no more "straight" readings of a film as there are "queer" readings. Has anybody seen the new The Great Gatsby film? I haven't, but I really want to. Here's an interesting article about a queer reading of the film.

The author states: "Specifically, I will argue that the novel's treatment of sexual transgression and its proliferation of gay and lesbian signs work together to create a homoerotic sub-text that disrupts and de-stabilizes the heterosexual narrative, creating, in the process, a sexually ambiguous novel. And we shall see, this homoerotic sub-text fiends its most complete embodiment in the characterization of narrator Nick Carraway, who is, I believe, unaware of his gay orientation."

What does it mean to be "unaware of one's orientation," and for those of you who have read the book and/or seen the film, do you buy her argument?
