There was never a hint that Buddy was gay in the original. Any assumption that he was came from the viewer. I'm glad they addressed it in this revisal, because it makes sense as to why he will, wont, will marry Violet.
They actually only really dealt with the twins' sexuality in "Tunnel of Love", expressing, perhaps uncomfortably, all four characters wants/needs/frustrations. It was more that Buddy "just wasnt that into" Violet.
Now it is expressed through the series of reporters' comments...along with more hints at Buddy's sexuality. Even "1+1=3" had no hint of sexuality in the original. The new staging is closer to "Two Ladies" from Cabaret than the original.
