I just finished reading the whole story, up to this point, for the first time and it's strong. There is enough blame to go around, as in real life. Bay overreacted, true, but he is young and struggling to cope with some big changes. The glimpses of his background do explain where his attitude came from and it was nice to see him learning to cope with it.
His family and friends were really wrong to think he would become someone completely different because he was gay. I do question that anyone would believe those stereotypes today, but maybe some people do. I'm glad his relationship with Issac is back on track and I am curious about Bay's plans for his future.
