I feel I understand Chris much better now. Him wanting to follow the rules, because that's what they promised in his mind has nothing to do with the rules about being gay. I believe he's right. I delt bad for what he did to Jason, but if he had let Jason ruin everything for Gary, there's a high risk Jason would have regretted it for a very long time. Now, Gary could come out on his own, which is how it should be.
For Gary to get that reaction from his mom was amazing! He can truly return with honor, being true to himself and the people he loves. And God.
