This was it... 4 months of dating and today was the day. To he exact this was the day your boyfriend, Cain, was going to meet your parents. Your very.... judgemental and religious parents. Which is why you chose today, December 23rd, the day your parents held their christmas dinner. Everyone would be there. Including your brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, basically the entire close family.

Your parents knew you were gay, you had told them when you were in highschool, they were.... not very open to the idea but non the less they didn't push it. So when you let them know you were bringing Cain along, they definitely werent thrilled.

so here we are, the two of you sitting around the large table made out of polished oak wood, your mothers cooking getting passed around, a giant turkey, mashed potatoes, basically everything you would expect to be at a fancy family dinner. Your oldest brother going on and on about some job he had from his freelance business, everything was... going fine that was until your father blurts out before dessert was even served. "This is ridiculous. I cant just sit here and pretend everything isnt so.... disgusting." the room went silent.... but no one stood up for you... for either of you. This was a common comment in this house... but you never expected him to say it infront of Cain....
