[Sobs]

Have you any idea--

There must be more of you

who feel like this--

like I do-- frightened to speak out.

Yeah, well,

[Sighs]

thanks for proving my point.

I'm-I'm gay.

[Sighs]

Sorry, Mum,

Dad,

but you can bet your life you're not the

only parents out there with a gay son.

It's only love.

What's everyone

so scared of--

[Sighs]

Thanks for listening.

I didn't know you were

such a drama queen.

Ow. I still can't believe

I did it.

- My mum says she's known for a while.

-John must be shitting himself.

I saw him running off towards the sports

field white as a sheet.

Weren't you listening

in there, Jess-- Careful--

you don't know what

you might catch.

Forget him. He's a--

What-- Poof, queer, f*ggot--

Anything else you can think of--

I'll tell you

what else he is.

He's my son,

and I'm very proud of him.

And if you do anything

to hurt him,

I'll have your bollocks

for earrings.

Steve, I've got

a bit of a surprise for you.

It's not quite as big a deal as you

telling--the whole world you're gay,

- but it's a surprise anyway.

- Tell me later.

I know-- Why don't I tell you later--

- Where's Dad--

- He's waiting in the car.

You stay here with your mates.

I'll--I'll talk to him.

He'll be fine.

- Mum, I-- - I know, love.

I love you too.

Mum, you're embarrassing me.

Don't be too late.

Yeah.

God, no one followed you,

did they--

No.

I'm--so sorry.

I--

I can't believe I--

[Sighs]

You must hate me for--

We've had

more romantic moments.

Strange thing is,

after I'd--

[Sighs]

done that to you,

all I could

think of doing was--

holding you--

to make it all right.

And I knew--

I really knew--

that I'd never loved anyone

so much.

Johnny, you do realize

what I just did in there--

[Sobs]

[Sobs, Sniffles]

Be happy.

[Aretha Franklin On Radio]
