RANSOM, THAT WAS NOT SUBTLE IN THE SLIGHTEST. (Also Potato Champ is adorable.)
Yes, Suzanne needs to back off for a day or so and yes, Coach should have an actual conversation with his son, but I am very hopeful it will not be terrible.
I'm giving the Bittles the benefit of the doubt because I've been that closeted Southern queer and while my mother's response was less than stellar, my dad was (and is) excellent. But he never said anything supportive before my sister came out, and not much after, so it took me a long time to say the words. And he still doesn't exactly march at pride with us.
So, I have hope. And if I'm wrong, well, we have blanket forts for reasons?
(And CONGRATS on top surgery! I hope your healing is/was speedy!)
