"Dad, Mom, I found someone" John said to his parents, as they sat in their living room.
"How did you meet her?" John Sr asked curiously
"Well, I met him at work" John answered
"Son, did you just say 'him'?" Sr. asked, thinking he was just hearing things.
"Yes dad, I did" John confirmed
"Get out!" his dad shouted as he pointed at the door.
"But dad, I didn't even tell you who it is" John said
"I don't care. I just found out that my son is a queer. Now get out of my house!" he demanded
"Fine" John said as he slammed the door behind himself.
"Why did you do that? Your son just walked out of your life and you're acting like you don't even care" Carol (John's mom) yelled
"Cause I did not raise my son to be a frickin queer" he stated obviously
"But he is still your son. Look, I don't know about you but I am not letting our son walk out of MY life" she said as she ran out of the house before John left.
She hopped in his car "John honey, please don't just leave. You know how your father is" she pleaded
"I don't care mom, he is still my dad. He needs to be understanding about what I do in my life" John cried
"I know honey, I know." Carol said as she hugged her son, trying to comfort him. "It will take a long time for him to come around. But in the mean time, you know you can talk to me"
"I know mom. It just really hurts that he called me a queer"
"I'm sure your boyfriend had it just as bad honey"
"Ya, he left his wife for me" John stated
"He left his wife?" his mom asked, shocked
"Ya, he didn't always know he was gay. Angie, his wife didn't even know until he told her he was leaving her. And she took it hard. I don't know why though, because they were having problems before I even got with him. We were best friends and I was there for him and in time we grew on each other and feelings arose. We didn't expect it because neither one of us realized we were gay but we make each other happy. He brings out the best of me mom" John explained
"Well, that is what you need in a relationship. I don't care if it is a man that makes you happy, I just want you to be happy" Carol stated truthfully
"I am mom. For the first time in my life, I truly am happy in my relationship" John said, smiling every time he thought about him.
"How long have you guys been together?" Carol asked
"About 4 months now"
"Do you love him?"
"Ya mom, I do. I love him" John smiled
"Well who is it? You never told me"
"The one and only, The Animal: Dave Batista"
"I'm happy for you son" Carol said smiling cause she could tell how happy he made her son.
"Ya, all I have to do is win over Athena" John said a little sad.
"Who's that?"
"Dave's 14 year old daughter. I don't think she likes me though"
"Try to see it from her eyes. She just found out her dad's gay"
"Ya, but she hasn't even met me, it's from what Angie told her. I tried talking to Athena on the phone and she accused me of taking her dad, then she hung up on me"
"Give her time son. She'll come around"
"Ya, I hope so"
"So when do we meet him?" Carol asked, changing the subject
"Well this weekend is his weekend with Athena and he thought that they could come up tomorrow. I came a day earlier, so I could break it to you guys"
"That should be fine. Now come back inside"
"But dad kicked me out" John argued
"I don't care. You're sleeping in your old room tonight" Carol stated as they got out of the car and went back in the house. Before his dad said anything his mom said: "I don't care what you said, he's your son and you're gonna talk to him"
"Fine. John, explain" he said as they sat across the room from each other.
"OK, dad…" then John explained everything he did to his mom. And according to the way his dad took it to begin with, John made sure to explain that he didn't realize he was gay before. That it was just that Dave brought out the best of him.
"Now you know that I don't like the idea of my son being gay" John Sr stated matter-of-factly
"I know dad but you're gonna have to get used to it, cause I ain't changing" John said
"I know, but it doesn't mean I have to like it"
