Okay but have you considered

Ray Bradbury was told that his own interpretation of a book he wrote is wrong

And that the general consensus for the interpretation is in fact not that of what he says it is

So therefore it's probable that if enough people think they're gay, and that the tells are obvious enough that they are that it's a commonly accepted fact, they just might be gay

No, we have not considered that, because it's idiotic.

Ray Bradbury said that Farenheit 451 was about how other forms of media were reducing society's interest in books, which of course was a concern for Bradbury, he being a writer. If you want to say that you think it's about censorship, YOU are personally free to feel that way, but you do not get to say that your interpretation is the official one, or that the author "meant" that as subtext. The author's word (pardon the pun) is the final arbiter of what the author was saying.
