Earlier that evening we had been out at a gig in Camden, with a couple of my oldest friends. It turned out that — out of my earshot — my boy had asked one of them what my reaction might be to him coming out.

We take pride in our broadmindedness. We also have several gay friends, including a gay male couple with two young adopted boys. Okay, between loud sobs, I did attempt to get the right words out: I even came out with the classic line: All to little avail.
