Leather 2013 quiet homophobia

"I know we just had sex and all. But are you even gay?" - Andrew (you)

"I don't think so." - Birch

Birch punched you when you came out as a gay teenager. He joined your father in hateful slurs & gay-bashing. You ran away at first opportunity. 

Now your father has died. You inherit the house. You return with your gay lover Kyle. Birch is squatting the house & seduces you to break up your gay relationship. 

He doesn't sleep with you to absolve his own past guilt or because he's bisexual. It's another act of homophobia. And hustling for a place to stay. 

He writes a letter to his girlfriend. Because he's not gay. He's using you. Why not? You're just a fag he has to be nice to for now. "Leather" 2013 on Tubi. TV-MA for nudity & language.

The puppet show was an opportunity to call you all those gay slurs again before a group of people publicly. Of course it was intended to hurt you. Birch claims the intent was to trigger healing in you. 

So you punch Birch in the eye. That's nothing compared to what Birch continues to do to you. But you're not thinking straight. You're thinking with little Andrew.

Birch says the dog is the only connection to your father he has left. What about you? This is after you guys had sex. Yet still, as a gay, you're invisible, less than a dog. Despite all these red flags, you choose Birch over Kyle, who is gay & can actually love you.
