So the answer, I guess is sort of. We're hinted twice that Claire, Winter's manager, is a lesbian but it is only said in one sentence replies so it's not the entire book. I don't think the second thing will spoil anything but if you think it does well, sorry. So in Chapter 9, Winter and his two backup dancers/friends are hanging out and laughing about the past girlfriends that Winter's had, and he recalls a memory he had with Dameon. (He doesn't say it out loud but the chapter is from his perspective so you see it in his mind.) So he and Dameon were close friends and one night Winter needed someone to talk to well it escalates by saying they ended up in bed together, there's no explicit details I mean it literally says "they had ended up in bed together," and that's it details wise. So it goes on to say that they had a several-week relationship but stopped because it interfered with their careers and that they were now just close friends. So yeah that's all there is, I think that Winter also decided (through other clues in the book) that he just wasn't gay and that he didn't see Dameon like that. I think he saw him more as a brother figure but he got a little lost in the journey. In the end, I don't think it was necessary to have this part in the book, I mean it doesn't have any significance to the plot. If the picture to be shown was that they were close friends, it could've just said Dameon and Winter were close friends, end of story. But whatever, other than that it's a fantastic book.
