Between this date scene with Buck and how he wooed an absolutely oblivious Eddie I think we need to recognize that Tommy Kinard might be a bit of a moronsexual.
honestly peppering in the backstory that Tommy was in the army before he was a firefighter doesn’t just link him to Eddie, it also goes a good long way to explaining why he would’ve been the way he was during Hen Begins and Chimney Begins and how that still works with him being obviously queer, because like any moment he would’ve served in the army, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell would’ve been in full effect so he was extraordinarily used to those closet walls and Captain Girard would’ve been absolutely unremarkable at that point and of course he would’ve been used to not making a fuss and going against the grain like Hen did when she showed up and was Openly Queer, he’d joined the department after serving in a place where being into men out loud meant losing his only source of employment and stability. Like is it Morally Good? No, but neither was DADT. What it is, is smart backstory stitching. “Good”? Eh. Coherent and understandable? Very.
I (32M) recently realized I'm bisexual and I have my first bf (45M), he's a rescue helicopter pilot (this will be relevant later). I'm out to my sister (41F) and my coworkers, including her husband, who I have worked with for years, but not to my parents or most of the other guests. Everyone has joked that I'm a little too close to my best friend (32M), and we might as well get married, but he's straight and has a gf. They're not relevant to this story, but to give context to how much my sexuality probably shouldn't be a surprise, even if it took me by surprise.
I told my sister and her husband I was bringing a plus one, and they both knew my bf, they were supportive of it because he makes me really happy.
Everything kind of started at the bachelor party. It was just me, my brother-in-law, and my best friend, and we did the usual stuff. We stayed a night in a hotel, went out to get drunk, sang some karaoke at our usual spot. It should have been a super chill night. Until my best friend and I lost the groom??? But it way more stressful than The Hangover makes it look.
He'd been taken by these guys who tried to kill him (no, I don't know why) and we didn't realize he was missing until less than an hour before the wedding. My mom kind of threw a fit about us being late, and then blamed me for losing the groom, which is kind of a normal reaction from her. My dad didn't yell as much but again, this is a normal reaction, I'm kind of the disappointment child. Basically, we had to find my brother-in-law because he still needed to marry my sister.
Before anyone worries: they did get married. He's fine. The hospital says they're discharging him tomorrow to go home. They're gonna reschedule their honeymoon so he's well enough to enjoy it.
Long story short, it turned into a rescue mission, and driving would have taken too long, and my best friend suggested we ask my bf to borrow his helicopter again (long story, but we had to borrow him for something a few months ago, it's how we met!) so I asked him for the favor. My mom asked who he was, since my best friend just used his name, and I told her he's my boyfriend, and she freaked out about it.
When we go to the hospital with my brother-in-law, my parents both yelled at and scolded me for taking attention away from the biggest day of my sister's life by pulling some "stunt" with my bf (to SAVE my brother-in-law from being violently murdered), and I think my dad somehow grounded me?
