watched the down low. have Thoughts
so being gay is something that "doesn't come naturally" to house (or technically, just comes less naturally than being a liar and yes i had to google the word mendacious, sue me)
but then this statement is followed immediately by wilson saying that he "kinda likes" that poster, aka an object they've used to symbolize gayness
additionally, this episode features the thing that happens over and over again throughout the show, which is wilson and house ultimately failing in their efforts to be with a woman and consequently being left with only each other
thus leading me to conclude that the takeaway here, metaphor-wise, is that house and wilson are deeply repressed (queerness not feeling natural) but are open to discovering that part of themselves with time (the poster growing on wilson) and will ultimately always end up with each other instead of with a woman (the episode concluding with them on the couch together, having failed to woo nora)
i would also like to note that my theory is further substantiated by the fact that this episode was written by lesbians

I think the community movie should open w troy and abed with their faces right in the camera, looking right at the audience. they're older and different but still the same in many ways. the very first line of the movie is their signature catchphrase, "troy and abed in a moovviieeeeee!" (the audience goes wild.)
they take a step back and abed goes "yeah, i think we got it." the rest of the cold open is them filming (or showing) a movie they made, which foreshadows the rest of this movie ofc, until jeff walks in and tells them off for still being weird/loud/etc. they just shrug and he rolls his eyes and leaves. troy and abed have one more little quip and then
roll opening sequence
