No but I think that it isn't that simple. If you swapped one of the guys for a white-bread chick the movie certainly couldn't be as powerful, not becasue you lost the queer factor but the angle of forbiddeness.
MAYBE if you replaced the guy with a girl of a different 'race' or religion you may have something that would work. Like Roger E. said, this is a primarily a story about forbidden love, perhaps more than about homosexuality.
Homosexuality is just the type of relationship the characters experience. I think that you could swap out the pinko for something else, but, I can't think of a type of another type relationship that is forbidden in a similar way (in our culture).
