--- Quote from: Near Lurker --- wow, Clinton came really close to outing Claire there. If Elliot becomes a member of their circle, he may well connect the dots. (...well, maybe not him, but someone else in his position might.) Maybe he should keep her in mind next time he decides to get drunk outside private gatherings.

I don't see how that sentence can be read as anything other than that his sister taught him a lot about being open to who you really are. Even in the context of the conversation, it could perfectly well mean that his sister follows him around the house saying "Clinton! You should be more open to who you really are! If you are gay, that's OK!" If Elliot ever meets Claire, he is likely to find this perfectly plausible.

--- Quote from: ckridge on 30 Mar 2018, 03:41 ---It would appear that Clinton is something much more uncommon than a bisexual polyamorist who is open to threesomes. He is an actual good guy. He isn't trying to exploit having had a chance to help Brun, and he isn't competing with Elliot for her affections because he likes Elliot. He is an actual good guy in a gawky, awkward, drunken way, but then, he is only just barely old enough to be in that bar.

Agreed. Under that veneer of geekiness he's approaching Dale levels of fundamental decency. But then, it appears he's the youngest adult member of the cast, so it's natural that he's slowly maturing before our eyes (you just have to watch real close).
I don't recall Clinton ever meeting Sam. That might be good for some comic relief since he'd be her step-brother-in-law, sort of. Maybe she can slip a frog down the back of his shirt at a family picnic this summer.

Weighing in on this as a trans person, I don't think he did? I mean, you might be able to extrapolate that she's queer from the statement- or that she's just a very open person. Of course, to someone who already knows the Claire is trans, it's going to be obvious what he means. To someone who doesn't... Eh. Not so much. There's no reference to how she taught him to be true to himself, so it could potentially be anything from her being trans, as she is, to her making him watch a bunch of true to yourself cartoons when they were kids. Even drunk, I don't think he's too close to outing her.

*scratches head*
Friend, you do know that different people have different definitions of what constitutes "super hot", right?
Here's Clinton stone cold sober stating he finds Brun very attractive. Enough so that it triggers his 'inner caveman instincts'.
jwhouk:
Well, Clinton was technically correct at saying she's super hot...
But the beer goggles comment was a bit much.
