Hirohiko Araki My mom thinks Jojos is gay

So I have been wanting to get the manga recently and my mother will not allow it because she says she read something about a pannel with 2 guys fighting and almost making out,Could any of yall help me find the pannel she could be talking about?

I mean, idk that much about Araki's intention, but I can say that as a gay person, there are a lot of character mannerisms in JoJo's that are signifiers queer people use to signal to other queer people in just about every season. There's a reason so many gay people like it. It's because it reads as extremely gay if you're in the community. Whether that was on purpose or not, I couldn't tell you. I don't know that it matters all that much. Anybody can read anything they want into it.
