Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

In Rachel Cohns and David Levithan's Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist it focuses on the relationship that blossoms between Nick and Norah. Now why is this in the blog about the portrayal of gay men, it is their because of a background character named Dev. Dev loves attention and has no problem getting any man he wants. This is a common theme in literature about gay men. The partier who converts men. He coverted their drummer and the drummer left forever. However, Dev has redeeming qualities and it was the speech he gave about the Beatles as seen below from the film. Dev while the partier is also deep. However he does show the stereotype that gay men want to convert their straight counterparts.
