I completely disagree. Sexuality, including homosexuality, has long been an undercurrent in the Gothic Romance. Mrs. Danvers, anyone?

Early (pre-1900) Gothics were full of raw, rough portraits of sexuality. "Wuthering Heights," for instance. The best Gothic Romances have never been tame.

Yes, totally, think of The Monk!

Part of the 'menace' was sexual menace.

Castles, fortresses, breaking down the walls, or being put into bondage, all obvious metaphors.
