Question: Let's say they're *really* gay.

[foxmonkey]

Not as in very gay, but really, for real gay, and not just slashing happily in fic. Here's my question.

Whose parents would most likely freak? Would anyone's parents freak? I can imagine Joey's being the most surprised, considering, but would any of them actually get disowned by their families? But have they all been in and around the business so long that they'd just accept (maybe even believe deep down, in the case of a couple of sparkly boys) that their kid might be gay, and therefore have no problem with it?

I'm asking because there seems to be the fannish perception (in fic, anyway), that JC's parents would be the least accepting. This is due in part, I'm guessing, to the fact that his parents seem to keep the lowest profile of any of the Sync!sires. Hmmm, or would that be Chris' mom? You get my drift, though. But Chris' mom is usually given a wide-open mind by writers. I'm assuming that because of her background, she'd be hard-pressed to throw stones at anyone else's choice of lifestyle.

So, tossing fannon aside: let's assume for the sake of argument that the guys are gay. Whose parents would be the most accepting? Who would run screaming, and keep a game face for the cameras but demand no boyfriend set foot in their house, ever?

Answer any way you choose. I'm curious kids, and yes, it's for fic. I need to get these rusty wheels turning, and this is one time I'd like to see what others think. Hit me up, yo! Answer the question. Please?

is she still married? I'm sure she's home more than she's not, but I wonder if jetting around with JT causes any stress at home?

She's still married to Paul, but Justin's her only child. Lynn and Paul never had any other children. So I dunno what the deal is with that. I know Justin's close to all the familia though.


And for the question... Like...

I think in the end, it wouldn't really matter because their parents seem to be completely loving and accepting no matter what. I think that JC's father may need time to deal with it, to let it set but probably because they seem so close and if JC only came out to them now, I think he'd be hurt.

Justin's two little half-brothers are his Dad's kids then?

Hmmm, interesting. And I agree with dirtypopper's post above, JC does seem like a daddy's boy - that picture of his dad hugging him from behind was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.

All good things to keep in mind when I start plotting my story.

Thanks!

you're not that sneaky!
