He could cope with Peter if Peter was content to stay closeted. But no.

I didn't mean it 'literally', I meant it figuratively - Jason doesn't want to be gay, he wants to be normal, for no one to have reason to give him sideways glances because he's different. He wants to belong. He wants to be a good Catholic boy. To be the superstar everyone thinks he is. He has an image to uphold, and his feelings for Peter conflict with that image.

Peter wants to be Jason's housewife. Jason wants to want to have a female wife. But Jason also wants Peter.

It's all just very fucked up.
