Gabriel nodded in understanding. When he'd learned who his father was he'd been told he had no son because he wasn't capable of creating someone who was gay. It had been the thing that had really motivated his mom to cross the border and start a new life here. If he'd forgotten her and was disowning his own son for being gay then...

"It's not easy when someone who is supposed to love you rejects you for something you were born as." He let out a long sigh then smiled a little. "It's not easy being gay either but I'm never going to judge you for that. I promise you that. Doing something like that would mean I'd have to judge myself first."

So Dal was safe to be who he was with him. He wanted that to be clear.
