Well since this is back in the late 1990s I think this is a pretty normal response. If you peep he actually does try to act normal as a friend to him but let’s be honest this would be hard to do since he does have some romantic feelings for Morgan. This is what causes him to feel divided mentally and not being able to accept himself and act normal with Morgan. Especially since he’s a high school boy and you know how rude and vile most of them are toward each other so there is a lot of peer pressure. But still ik it doesn’t excuse the rudeness
I like to clarify this is actually in 2010 (where Eugene and Morgan r in HS) rather than the late 1990s so there’s a slight improvement in how ppl were treating queer ppl back then however there was still major prejudice and mistreatment ofc but yea agreed Eugene has to deal with the major internalized homophobia first before even accepting Morgan as his lover
I get him being bummed out about morgan not being a girl but thats still your childhood friend like bro??? Like can you atleast try to act like youre happy to see him instead of being an asshole dont pmo
