Reactions and Reviews
After an op, Bodie makes some homophobic remarks so to tease him, Doyle takes him to a gay bar. To his surprise, Bodie makes a pass at him, so they go back to Doyle's place and check out how far each is willing to go. I've already said that I don't like 'gay bar' stories, and I like even less stories in which Bodie expresses homophobic attitudes as a cover for his own orientation, which strikes me as both dishonest and unpleasant - not attributes I want to see in Bodie. But getting past this, this is the best story with this theme that I have read. It was warm, touching, and even funny. It managed to make a trite situation seem all right The characters as I see them wouldn't act like this, but if you accept that they would act like this - and, wrenching, I was able to suspend my disbelief well enough - then the dialogue is in character, witty, and not nearly as simple as it might appear.
