Damien Yates is hooking up with the priest's son. Has been for ages now.
Spencer Morris has gotten himself way too deep into this mess -- and there's no going back. He can't undiscover that part of himself.
It's been too long for Damien not to be frustrated that Spencer won't admit his feelings.
It hasn't been long enough for Spencer not to be terrified to admit it.
"John 8:32" tells of the impact of the Catholic church and religion on queer kids, and just how much damage a supposed "all-loving religion" can do in the wrong hands.
