Bullying of any kind should not be tolerated.  And if the fight wasn't witnessed by an adult they both should have been suspended not just one because he was gay. 

It sucks that Brian had to threaten with money but unfortunately that's the society we live in.

 

Off to read the next chapter.

Great chapter! I guess it would be to much to hope Mel and Lindsay start acting with parents, putting the kids first...

Okay, so I was thinking about Gus and his video diary, and then his internship. What is he planning on studying in college? Maybe he might turn his video diary into a small documentary, and apply to film school in NY. I don't know if you like it, it's just a thought?

One more chapter before I'm all caught up...

Thank you so much hon for your continued, supportive and encouraging feedback!  I appreciate it so much!!

I like your idea of Gus writing a documentary.  I've actually had some thoughts about that along those lines, but with a little twist.  That subject might get a little more interesting later on in the story ;)  Currently in the story, Gus told his dads he wanted to do a double major...one in Photography, and one in Advertising.  Since he interned at Kinnetik, combined with the years of being around Marketing and Advertising with Brian and Justin, he seems to have taken a liking to it!

I'm delighted you're liking the story!!

Later, dear

I love seeing a new chapter to this story and hate to see it end.  There is so much there to enjoy.  Thank you!

It's wonderful to know you are enjoying the story!  I greatly appreciate your continued support and encouraging comments, so very much!  Thank you!!  A new chapter will be posted soon :)

I'm enjoying reading Gus' point of view of his dads and the way they do things. Such a good example to set - pity the girls don't have a clue. Even in the show the girls tended to put their own needs before their kids. Brian certainly gave it to the principal - in spades.... for a school that does a program twice a year to encourage tolerance it a shame the principal isn't putting the teaching into practice. Great chapter - eagerly waiting for more.....

Thanks bunches for your supportive feedback!  I wanted to put  a lot of Gus' thougths and behaviors into this story to relate to how he grows from a teenager into a young man, and why he makes some of the decisions he does in his life.

I'm glad you liked the part with Brian and the principal!  When it comes to his son, particularly, he certainly will always stand up for him!  I'm especially thrilled to see you picked up on the aspect of where in some situations, even in schools where tolerance and acceptance is taught, there will always be those in charge who don't "practice what they preach", so to speak.  Unfortunately, we sadly still see that dynamic in society.

I'm delighted you're enjoying the story, and I thoroughly appreciate your comments!

Great chapter.  I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this story.  I love how long each new chapter is and how you capture the family dynamic of the Taylor/Kinney family and the fractured Petrson/Marcus one.

Author's Response:

I'm so delighted to hear how much you are enjoying the story!  I truly aimed to capture the varried family dynamics, and it's encouraging to know that that specific aspect comes across in the story!

Thank you so much for reading, and for your supportive feedback!  Both are so immensly appreciated!!

This is such an interesting story. I am happy to see each new chapter.

It's very well edited also.
