He's my son. And i'm very proud of him.
I love how his mother fully supports him. I think we all know that a mother understands her child's secrets, right?
And also, SCREAMING "WE LOVE LINDA" IN UNISON!!!! I love her energy, her charisma, her funny self, and her sarcastic self.
However, support young, fully gay writer guys. In gays and lesbian, we believe!
