Re: Pandora and Dominic (and OPEN)
"Really?" Dominic asked, surprised. What little he knew about Pandora suggested a pureblood upbringing, which didn't exactly suggest tolerance and open-mindedness. "My parents would care, if they knew." It wasn't something he usually talked about, but he felt strangely called upon to defend Pride as a movement, even if he didn't usually participate heavily. "They're Christian," he added. "So dad's completely against it and mom takes a 'hate the sin, love the sinner' kind of attitude - which means she's okay with people being gay, as long as they don't do anything to act on it." Neither of which was exactly encouraging him to come out anytime soon.
He took a larger sip of his drink, and shrugged. "There's still a long way to go," he finished, with less fervour. "I honestly don't know how it works in the wizarding world, but we've only just got civil partnerships for same sex couples..." Dominic trailed off as the music rose to a crescendo before the song finished. "But I didn't come here to talk politics," he amended sheepishly. "I came here to drink and dance - so can I whisk you onto the dancefloor before I piss you off with my opinions?"
