Yup it is. It actually is important in the Special Scene 3 too. Kind of like, he might normally not be into guys, but he is into Gomamon and cares more for him than anyone else. Kind of framed as a sweet moment as our human protagonist feels hurt at the idea of parting ways with Gomamon after going through the final Fire Wall. So, I am making use of it. ^^ I personally hope you like that scene. It is already in the game if I remember it correctly.
