That is correct.
"300" is clearly targeted at the gay market. The homoeroticism in the movie is rampant, and here is a review of the movie from a gay writer:

"Could it be that ripped abdominals and leather short shorts were standard ordnances in the hyper-masculine military culture of ancient Greece? It would seem to be so, at least in Zack Snyder?s cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller?s "300." Even the trailer for the film looks like glorified gay porn - and that alone is a reason to go."
"At Leonidas? side stands a host of buff men with muscled shoulders and ripped bicepts, among them David Wenham (last seen herding hobbits) and newcomer Tom Wisdom, who makes his cinematic debut in hunky style."
""300" manages to tap not only into our inherent violent tendencies, playing them out on-screen in a lurid fashion ripped alternatively from our darkest dreams and our most oft-endorsed visualization of the perfect male physique"
