Chapter 42

“My father will dig his own grave without any help from me. I never want him to be able to say that I publicly shamed him. It was far better that I didn’t mention him at all.” Danny smiled sadly. “Not everyone has a good coming out experience. That’s why we need more LGBT youth shelters, for those kids who are forced out of their homes and have to resort to prostitution and thievery to eat because they are too young to work. Now I know why you are a good journalist, you make it easy to talk to you and you seem trustworthy. Please don’t abuse our trust. I don’t want Gary to be sorry about coming out for me.” Danny turned his face up to his Dom looking for a kiss. He wasn’t disappointed.

“I won’t abuse your trust or release anything that was off the record,” Joe said. “See me, gay here? I know how difficult it can be.”

One hour later the film crew and Joe were out of the house, leaving Sam and his people, Gary and Danny.
