1 - I don't think Lt. Batts was gay. look at the schocking expression he has on his face when he goes to meet Lester in the garage. I don't think a gay would get this freaked out because he's about to kiss another guy. I think finding out (in his head) that Ricky is gay made him a little crazy for a moment, and that he actually didn't know what he was doing in the garage. he was confused, trying to understand his son, and that unleashed the gay inside him, but I don't think we have any reason to believe Lt. Batts is gay.
2 - no I don't think Carolyn knew... she didn't look like someone who had just seen his husband dead, although she did look shocked. I think she was a little messed up at all, thinking about killing Lester and all that stuff, and that's why she was so freaked out. I also think she hugged Lester's clothes because she started to think about getting back with him.
* I'm down with my opinion on #1, but #2 is still just an idea, and I know I might be wrong
