You were sitting in the backyard with your father and Simon.

"I don't give a shit about your Brokeback Mountain shit or whatever you two got going on. All I care about is his happiness."

Your dad broke the silence.

Them. It's 'them', pa. I'm neither male nor female.

You corrected him to which he only scoffed.

"You see what I'm dealing with here?"

Simon rolled his eyes and before you could react, he gave your father a black eye and pulled you up from your chair.

"We're leaving."
