Homophobia was originally intended to have a happy ending, but it was removed by Schmidinger. In an interview, he confessed, "a cheesy ending was out of the question for me. ... The happy endings of feature movies never really happen in real life. Still, I think and hope that the audience will be left with a positive feeling at the end of the film." During a behind-the-scenes video, it was revealed that the final scene was to have featured Michael and Raphael meeting as friends at a train station after their military service.
