Gideon is the Jewish and queer parent of Max Wolfe, a cisgender gay male who expresses himself through his femininity. He is a theatre impresario. Gideon thrives to be the most authentic version of himself no matter what. He raised his son in the same way, allowing him to be his most authentic and open self. Gideon isn't afraid to express his femininity and break the gender boundaries that society places on him. However, he curves his expression for the sake of his masculine husband, Roy.
