Update - he's about 45 years old now, I think. His parents finally met his boyfriend, who's considerably younger at 22. It was graduation weekend for the boyfriend, and afterwards, a party where everyone behaved, though I bet his dad was crushed.
What's noteworthy is nobody talked about age differences in either family. Instead of vitriolic under the breath comments from the females among friends and family, the women turned out to be the most effusive in praise for their relationship.
A guy who "discovers" he's gay later in life finds his lifestyle not only socially acceptable but concerns about age differences almost completely disappear as well. The social hypocrisy would be stunning if it were not so predictable.
