I enjoyed reading your manifesto, but I do have a problem with it, and in fact much of the fandom as a whole. You and much of the fandom call Tulio and Miguel gay when they are not. They're really clearly Bi-sexual! And more than that, they're in the sort of trusting relation to let each other play around with women on the occasion, like "that girl in Barcelona." or their equal immediate 'hubahuba' reaction to Chel. It's not a common sort of agreement, but it can work. In fact I've seen it work irl. Miguel's hurt comes from Tulio straying from their relationship to pursue another relationship with Chel. For not including him in his plans. Playing would have been fine, cheating is not, and that's essentially what Tulio did. By the end of the movie they've reconciled because like you said, they don't function without the other. But I would say that they also reorganized their relationship to include Chel. In a not quite yet stable trifecta. When it comes to Men or Women, the answer is clearly:
