They arrived at the movie theater. The movie that was showing was Boyfriend, Dearest. Jon noticed that there were a lot of guy/guy couples waiting in line. "There are a lot of gay couples here," Jon commented as they waited in line.
"What do you mean, 'gay?' asked Steve. "Just because we like having sex with other guys doesn't mean we're 'gay.' It's just... sex with guys. Every guy has a boyfriend or two on the side. Its just as natural as sex with girls."
"Really?" asked Jon. So we're not gay. Are we bi, or does that distinction not exist here?
"Of course," said Steve, rolling his eyes. "Like I have sex with you and Moose. Doesn't your dad have any male partners? My dad and his boyfriend live together. I think they deliberately let me catch them in bed together, with my mom in the middle."
"Doesn't your mom mind?" asked Jon.
"Why should she?" said Steve. "She likes it too. She even introduced them."
They got to the theater door, picked up their tickets and walked into the theater. The theater, like the line, was filled with male/male couples. Then the movie started. It began with two naked men sitting on a couch, talking.
*Do you love me, Brad?" asked on man.
Of course I do, Terry, said the other man, Brad. Why do you ask?
Because of Katrina, said Terry. She doesn't understand how you can love her and me at the same time.
*My wife doesn't control whom I love, Terry, said Brad. I'll talk to her, settle things out._
Yeah, it was cheesy. Yeah, it was basically porn. But the guys were cute, and Jon found himself pulled into the movie. Somehow, it spoke to him.
