All-Sexuality Support Group: Thursday After Classes - A Classroom
"Okay, so, for some of you guys, graduation's coming up," said Emmett. "Friends, family, people who didn't know you had a sudden epiphany about liking people shaped like you... or aliens or doing it while hanging upside down wrapped in clingfilm..."
In her seat at the head of the group, Gabrielle looked genuinely perplexed. It was a good look on her, actually, since she wore it often. "I can't believe the semester's come and gone already," she said almost wistfully. "So this is our last meeting for the school year, and in the spirit of the group -- which I'd like to think is also the spirit of Fandom in general -- we thought we should give some thought to how we can be there for people with a lot of people's families in attendance."
"A lot of us aren't graduating, some of us may be as out as you can possibly get without wearing a nametag that says Hi My Name Is Emmett And I Like--" Oh, that face, Gabs. That face! "...Richard, but some of us are, and some of us aren't, and even if you don't have any issues on that score, you probably know someone who will."
Emmett paused, then added, "The nametag thing is one possibility, by the way, but I wouldn't suggest it if you have relatives that are elderly or have heart conditions."
"Well, it's a step up from actually giving a demonstration, isn't it?" Gabrielle had figured Emmett out somewhat by now. Could you tell?
"...So I shouldn't tell you how my uncle Enos found out. Got it." Emmett mimed zipping his lips.
Yes, that would be Gabrielle facepalming. "Oh, I can guess. And I really wish I couldn't."
"Well, I'm not advising that coming-out method for everybody," Emmett said. "It wasn't exactly planned, as such. "
"And it might not be planned for some of us." . . . why she was including herself in that, Gabrielle had no clue. NO CLUE. "So a group with the word 'support' in its name should be prepared to offer that. Think of it as our chance to shine."
She was cheesy. But cute, okay?

Re: Talk to the Leaders
Never leave Gabrielle alone with a conceptual metaphor. It ends badly.
