You… weren’t wrong.

but srsly i love all the subtle wordplay in this comic, on “trans” and “partner” and “pass”. Blue, has anyone ever told you that you are brilliant because you are brilliant.

i am glad to be of service, December.

(i’d.. ..rather Alastair not be thought of as a “walrus.”
except when he has the mustache.

L.o.L.)

I’m not speaking about some other men here, hetero or otherwise. I’m speaking about Al, and from what Brendan’s saying this was his first proper time with a man. It’s obviously something he wanted (I don’t see any women in his life and the calendar could be there for a number of reaosns, maybe to imply to visitors that he’s a proper straight bloke), and since by forty years of age he had not had it yet, I think that’s pretty sad to be honest.

You call him a gay virgin, but just because he’s never slept with guys and has a girly calendar doesn’t mean he’s never been in love and/or is in the closet. He could very well be “bi” and late exploring both sides—and that is definitely not a reason to pity him. Life happens.

We don’t know that Al is “okay” with his sexuality. Al has not expressed anything to himself to indicate his identity, nor to Brendan, nor to society at large. All we know, really, is that this was a relatively new experience for Al – and to be honest, that doesn’t mean that Al has never had any sexual experiences with men before. Al could have a history of very negative sexual experiences, and his night with Brendan could be new in the sense that it was positive.
