de la acera de enfrente

[Magmod]

¿Qué significa lo siguiente:

1. Veo que Julio es de la acera de enfrente
2. Un pegueño disgusto

Mi intento así:

1. I can see Julio on the pavement in front??
2. A spot of trouble

¿Pero tiene la frase 1 otro significado?

Ser de la acera de enfrente means to be homosexual. As if he belongs to the people at the other side.

Would this phrase be similar to saying "he plays for the other team?"

Ok, if it means the same, I agree, they are similar. Especially because both Spanish original and that in English are straight sentences that you could often hear with its straight meaning.
