He's lucky he didn't get a smack in the face!

Idealism with a dollop of homophobia...just to keep it real!

The(ir) Blurb...

Jesse desperately wants to hold Derek's hand, but he soon remembers that a bus stop is not a safe space for public displays of queer affection. A suggestive glance between them becomes more than they bargained for. True love takes courage, but in LA no one is braver than a gay who eats carbs.
