I don't know how keeping the Gay stuff would have made it a better story per se, but I've read other tibdits about the original concept that do sound more interesting, like the core friendship being between Elio and the character that eventually became the Bad Guy(ish).
As I understand it, Elio would have been thrilled to be abducted only to find he didn't really fit in with the Aliens either; then he would make friends with one among them that was also weird and misunderstood among them.
Some bits about that structure seem to remain in the final film but make no sense, like Elio reflecting on his fear of not really being misunderstood by his peers (but actually universally worthless as a person) when he had ALREADY been warmly welcomed by the alien society.
