Well, I didn't say HOW Melanie
and Brian would become alligned (if they ever
do in this version), but your point is taken,
and I will refrain from non-blacked spoilers.
Yep, when I worked for The Gap before returning to
college, my district manager was very homophobic!
And MOSTLY true to your statements, for a few years
after, I found that about 50% of the male staff were
gay, but that because of the DM, we never knew about
each other until we'd bump into each other at
gay-centric events.
"You too!"
As for your comments about the US Show,
I still feel that Brian would NOT take Justin
in based on his behavior leading up to that episode.
It has nothing to do with what I did or did not
see in the Brit show.
Also, if Justin's mom has "veto" rights,
then how come she didn't tell her husband,
"You cannot make those conditions for living here!"
Why did she choose to be silent then???
It was clearest of all in that statement,
that Justin was going to not stay, and she
should've fought harder...
Brian is CLEARLY NOT responsible for
Justin's Dad being an asshole.
Justin's mom cannot blame
Brian for Justin not being in her house.
That fell squarly on daddy-o's shoulders.
(Did I mention I worked with adolescents in
crisis for three years? I have seen confrontations
before, and I know what is real and what isn't.)
Any therapist in the world would've backed her up.
And Brian stat in the
corner like he was supervising the whole thing.
Uh...no.
