I Think Our Son Is Gay 01

Product Information

This causes Akiyoshi to mistakenly believe that Hiroki is good at science, which comes to a head in Chapter 35 when Hiroki has to choose between liberal arts and science.

Giving queer and trans youth tools for uncovering who they are is vital, and it has to happen at their pace.I Think Our Son Is Gay is yet another LGBTQIA+ manga that began life on ‘social media’ as have several of the titles we’ve reviewed here recently. She does so many awesome things that I would recommend to any parent, and she does it all through honoring Hiroki’s autonomy and challenging her own misconceptions. Caring mother, Tomoko, continues to watch anxiously over her elder son Hiroki as he joins the school choir alongside his secret crush Daigo and childhood friend Asumi – Hiroki is keen but can he sing in-tune? A doting mother and her two beloved sons, one of whom she thinks is probably gay, go about their daily lives in this hilarious and heartwarming LGBTQIA+-friendly family comedy!

In Chapter 10, Akiyoshi tells his sons he would "love to see our son's wedding" and "see our grandkids' faces". Tomoko asks if he would do that with his crush, and Hiroki sounds extremely reluctant, only considering that when in private. The humor is very gentle and a bit repetitive but still exceedingly cute as a doting and accepting mother suspects her son may be gay due to constant slips of the tongue and lack of poker face when he talks about or sees that one certain boy. Mom Tomoko and her two darling sons, Hiroki and Yuri, go about their everyday lives with little to disturb their gentle routines.Just like Tomoko, my fondest wish is that queer and trans people get to be, and that all of our intersections are honored and supported. A fourth-grade Hiroki complained it's unfair that in Japan, Valentine's chocolate must be given by a female to a male. Với sự đáng yêu của Hiroki, sự hài hước trước tình huống của người mẹ Tomoko luôn làm mình bật cười.

The next eight pages are Tomoko's recollection of the story behind that towel: Hiroki's fifth-grade heartbreak. Again, given how queerphobia and transphobia have made coming out an unfortunate part of many experiences, kids and adolescents need tools and support to navigate on their own, but also safe adults to talk to and guide them to safe resources. Gender Nonconforming Equals Gay: Inverted — Akiyoshi has a very stereotyped view of gay people, so when he hears that Tomoko's coworker has come out, he assumes the man will start to cross-dress at work.In fact, again looking at what it means to have to come out (on a repeated basis at that), it is an act of trust for someone to tell us they are queer or trans.

It's important to note that King in Limbo was originally published in 2017, before the COVID-19 pandemic, making this feel just a teensy bit prescient.

There are also chapters that illuminate the struggles that even I face today as a gay man, The wanting to be able to hold my man’s hand in public without ridicule and without being in danger. But nothing can prepare Tomoko for the day Hiroki comes home with a shocker—Daigo’s got himself a girlfriend! Cậu em trai Yuri trông có vẻ lạnh lùng và có vẻ khó gần, nhưng thực chất Yuri lại quan tâm anh trai lắm íiiiiiiii.
