Simon Quote by Charles Benedict
““Fred, who was probably gay, didn’t bother to hide himself and didn’t care if you looked. Then again, he never hinted at wanting to fool around and I suspected he might be asexual, but really, I think he was very comfortable with his sexuality. Simon was a lot of fun to be around because he was gay and totally trusted our inner circle with his secret. Simon, Declan, Cody, and I generally shared an unspoken bond of knowing about each other while in seminary—we didn’t have to tell each other we were family.””
