Micah: To the extent that anybody can be sure about anything, I don’t think I’m gay. But I do have feelings for you, and that’s confusing. I feel like my sense of self, and my emotional attraction are at odds. Like, the way I feel for you in my heart doesn’t match my feelings for you in other ways.
Isaiah: So you don’t want to sleep with me.
Micah: I don’t want to sleep with you.
Isaiah: I can forgive you for that. You should know that I don’t want anything from you, Micah, and I never did. Nothing except to be your friend, your brother. But society tells us that men can’t love each other that way. You know, we don’t do that. Women can be best friends, they can hold hands, they can declare their love for each other, but we can’t. And if we do, then we must be gay.
