I felt a bit of a tug at the old heartstrings when Syed talked of Masood's gambling and Zainab's tacit complicity in this, saying that they're not perfect either. Do you think he still feels that his own homosexuality is something which makes him less than perfect, a flaw which he has simply accepted he has to live with? I guess this is to be expected in a way - after all, he was brought up to believe that being gay is an aberration and old beliefs die hard - but I'd like to think that at some point he'll come to see the beauty in all parts of himself. I wonder whether this is something we may see explored if and when Chryed adopt/ have a child, as I would imagine Syed will be asking serious questions of himself and Christian in terms of how, and with which belief system he would wish that child to be raised.
I knew it was coming, but I squeaked in frustration when the scene ended so abruptly after Christian brought up the idea of adoption. Normally I wouldn't care, but knowing that we're now not going to see Syed for at least two weeks and therefore are going to miss out on the crucial discussion of this life-changing matter...gah.
Hope everyone's well”

BIB - business as usual for our boys then?? :sleep:
Interesting thought about Syed...I didn't think of it that way. Maybe Syed is 100% there yet, but I don't think he thinks of his homosexuality as a flaw either. i think he was just more pointing out reasons why they had no room to judge him or his life, regardless of what they think of him being gay.
Supposedly... I'm sure some adoption agencies don't let gay couples adopt though
