Yeah, because, being gay, everything must be forgiven to him. he´s gay, so he has "his reasons", and that gives him carte blanche to lie and harm others. I know we all in western countries have been conditioned for a long time by mass media, Hollywood movies, TV Shows, etc. to think that way, that gays are victims of society by default and for that reason a gay character must be either good person or a tragic figure worthy of compassion, but... come on! The guy is a egoistic person that lies to Sage for a long time making her miserable, and even is making miserable his actual partner forcing him to endure bulling, only to maintain his status with the "Alphas", a lame bunch of dickheads. Even if it results that he has a situation with his parents similar to Maya´s, it´s his problem. Other innocent people, like Sage, should not suffer because of him.
Anyway, this game is set in 2021, not 1950, in USA, not Iran. The guy could say "yes, I´m gay" and nothing would actually happen. Dawe and some of the "Alphas" would be mad, others, like Anthony, probably would be more understanding, and that´s all. And most of the rest of the people, probably wouldn´t care. Those dramas about homosexuals that can´t be themselves are a boring cliché. In my case, it´s a part of the game, both Maya and Chad, I can´t care less.
