According to the
director and
writer of
Chasing Amy,
Kevin Smith, despite all of Banky's "passive-agressive gay bashing," he is
gay. In the
New Jersey Triolgy timeline, some time after the end of Chasing Amy, Banky and Hooper (also a gay man) end up getting together.
Kevin Smith seems to like hinting towards characters being gay without actually saying it in the movie (ie. Randal Graves, Banky Edwards, and Jay).
