"I know..." He assured Carlos, before he frowned at the other man's answer. It was enough to make him stop them in their walk, and turn to look at Carlos in the most annoyed manner. He wasn't annoyed with Carlos, no...but at his parents? Without a doubt. He'd been blessed with Gay parents, and hell- he didn't actually know who his mother was, and apparently that was the way she wanted it. So he never worried much about it in the face of warmth and love from his fathers.
But to raise a kid for 17 years, and then decide to disown them? That was utter bullshit.
"When they 'figured out' your were gay? Please, more like when they couldn't deny something any more. Their loss, really. You're more than 'a gay man', you know. You've got dreams, and talents, and skills...being gay is a sidenote, and if they can't get the fuck over it. Fuck'm, they don't deserve you. I'd be more than happy relay that to them on your behalf as well." Gael said, his eyes going a bit dark. Perhaps because he'd always known Leon too had had to deal with parents who hated his sexuality. They kept in touch, really, because Patrick refused to lose both of his sons- Ren, though? She never could really get over it all. His grandmother paid lip service to him and Noelle, really. She 'loved' them, but only if they didn't mention Daniel or Leon being gay, or their sexual exploits with the same sexes, or anything wild and crazy.
Patrick, bless him, loved his wife....but also always tried to soften the blows of each visit. Gael wasn't sure who he'd grown to dislike and hate more- his grandmother and her awful bias, or his apologistist Grandfather.
"If the worlds of my father, the best revenge is being happier than they are." Gael said, looking a little smug in that declaration. "And maybe flaunting that happiness in their face a little. But that is more just for fun."
