Alan: I feel so strongly for Simon right here. And I'm so amazed at his self-control because, as a teenager, I would not have walked away Jonathan: You would lay that kid out. Yeah. Alan: I am ashamed to admit, it would have gotten violent, probably. Elliot: It's one of my biggest fears was that  people would find out and take the narrative away. Because there's so little that you've got control over. You've got all these feelings, all these confusing feelings rushing in when you're trying to figure out who you are that you don't feel like you have any control over. Sometimes there's even, at least in my experience, this might not be the same for everybody, that there was bits of anger  that were there, where you just go like, Actually, I just wish I was straight  and I didn't have to deal with all of this, which I don't wish now, but I did at the time. And there's so much loss of control over that, that the decision of when to come out and who's come out and the circumstances, that's one of the only things that you have control over. And often for a lot of people, I think, you want to do it very carefully to certain people first, you may not even want to come out to everybody. So I think to do that on your terms is one of the biggest things that you need and the idea of that being taken away from you. Yeah, no. I almost feel  that fear again just watching it.
