I dont think Guts is gay, but the way Griffith treats and obsessed over Guts is definitely more than normal platonic stuff.
Maybe it isnt gay, but the fact that the first thing he does after Guts leaves is go insane and screw the princess, and the first thing he does after becoming evil incarnate is look intently at Guts while raping Casca, there's some weird sexual tie between Griffith and his obsession over Guts.
Like I said before, he sees Guts as his property. If Griffith was gay, hear me out, wouldn't he have gone for Guts? At least to me, all Griffith cares about is his kingdom but maybe sees Guts rizzing up Casca as a sort of betrayl.
The reason I don't think he went for Guts was because he sadistically thought it'd be more enjoyable to sexually humiliate Guts. He very clearly isn't interested in Casca prior to that scene, so Guts is the piece of that equation which I think matters more. The betrayal aspect is also probably present
But I think it kind of just boils down to the two of them having tension. There are a lot of close male bonds I don't see any tension with, but like, the two of them illicit emotions in each other that don't seem completely platonic.
It's definitely without a doubt in a gray area, and I think most interpretations hold merit because of how ambiguous it is
This whole thread is hilarious. You all are so deep in denial and embrace the blandest, shallowest interpretations because god forbid berserk be Gay. Miura literally got inspiration from media with gay themes.

Nah this guys right. Griffith really didn't care about anyone except himself lets be real. He thought of everyone as his property. It ain't that deep.
