[He blinks, half-surprised that he doesn't have to fight the point, and leans back, his eyes coming to rest on a seat on the other side of the carriage.]
It was.
[He doesn't have to think about that before responding. After a moment, he follows it up with a snort, and elaborates:] Particularly coming from a place where being a gay Garou was significantly more common than being a male Garou. [Sure, there are male Black Furies, but they are so rare they might as well not exist - even those select few men whom Pegasus would accept often decide to leave for other tribes, because being a metis is enough of a disadvantage in any tribe that they don't want to add a second this-sets-you-apart-in-a-negative-way-and-makes-you-an-outsider on top of it. Or that's what he was told by the Fury-born Child of Gaia that he talked to while attempting to figure out which tribe to pick.
Considering himself gay and expecting to become a Black Fury had both gone out of the window for the same reason, if not at exactly the same time, and thus they go very much hand in hand for him. It might be an absolute stereotype that all Black Furies are Angry Lesbians, but the relative density of people for whom at least some of that rang true meant that considering himself a butch Lesbian had never been a problematic identity for him. Really quite the opposite.
He grins, attempting to further the levity of the statement:] My dating life has never been the same.
