years ago? How could he explain to them when he didn’t know himself? It wasn’t like he
woke up one day knowing he was this way but that was what they wanted to hear, hell it was
what he’d like to hear as well. Trouble was, he just didn’t know when it happened. All he
knew for certain was that he was gay, that girls did nothing for him and boys did. Could it
really be that simple and if so, how the hell was he going to explain that to them?
“Come on mom, you know that isn’t true. I just don’t like girls, why is it so hard for
you both to accept that?”
“For starters son, because this is the first we have heard of it, why didn’t you come to
us before this? Why did your mother have to find out by… I mean did you expect us to find
out and just say nothing?”
“No, I guess not, but…”
“But what son? We are your parents, haven’t we always told you that you could come to us
with anything? Haven’t we always tried to listen, aren’t we now?”
“Sure, after you dragged me away. You could have waited till I got home tomorrow; you
didn’t have to come and embarrass me like you did.”
“Embarrass you? Christ… how do you think I felt? Coming home and hearing you are out with
some guy, that you were planning to have sex? How do you think I felt?”
“So what, you are saying if I had told you about Dakota and me, you would have let me
go?”
