It's interesting brokeplex!
He is crazy about the short story, just crazy about it.
But FNIT as depicted in the film makes him antsy lolol.
I think I get it>>being straight himself, he is watching 2 very straight cowboys his own age spontaneously hump lubelessly in a tent. He has his own cowboy hat and his own tent, LOL, and I suspect his sphincter would tighten up as a defense mechanism at the very thought roflmao.
And I damned well know that gay friendly as he is, my son or not, I'm talking about a 6'5 blond, blue eyed, built 22 year old who used to be 'the fat kid'. He isn't any longer. Far from it. 'Looks-wise' the words Holy Shit have been voiced by total strangers when he enters a room.
On those looks alone, he gets offers. He has told me about them. He has no problem when gay or bi men ask him ...uh, whatever. What he does have a problem with are men who do not accept NO and keep on importuning him after being told NO. I agree with him here, completely. If someone puts the moves on another person and is told no, and the man being importuned explains he is straight and invariably adds that he will happily be friends but no way regarding anything sexual, that demands respect. If respect is not given, then there is a problem. I well remember how aggravated i used to get when men I had said NO to kept bugging me for something I was not going to give, and hell, i wasn't even straight, I was bi!.
If he doesn't want to, that is his right. I think the film is sort of dull to him. And FNIT, to a kid that age who wears a cowboy hat, rides and camps, can make one nervous LOLOL
