I'm still learning japanese, so I'd like someone to help me with this, please!

I can't understand the meaning of this phrase/expression:

> そっちのケはないんじゃ

I do understand the meaning of はないんじゃ, but I don't know what does "そっちのケ"
means. Thanks in advance!

Help with ケ in this sentence/phrase?
「そっちのケ」, or
[「そのケ」](https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B1),
[「その[気]{け}」](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E6%B0%97%20%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E3%81%91),
is a euphemism for "interest in the same gender", "homosexuality".

E.g.  
そっちのケがある → have an interest in the same gender  
そっちのケはない → have no interest in the same gender

The ケ comes from...

> け【気】
