He says the purple is the symbol of "And there were curious flowers, before unknown, flowers that were stained in moonlight.
I am the love which cannot speak its name", or something.
Two Loves by Lord Alfred Douglas.
It's like part of our heritage.
It was actually cited during Oscar Wilde's like indecency trials.
Your dad is really amazing.
I didn't realize it was so deep.
Claire, close the front door! Truthpaste: I want one.
I'll see what I can do.
So Rose, how long have you been a lesbian? - Mom! - I'm just trying to get to know her! - You don't become a lesbian.

That was a little much! See, if we both have an equal amount of garlic breath, it cancels I think it's all right I would really like to introduce you to Carly and Sean.
And As scared to hell as I am about it, I'm really looking forward to meeting Rose.
Actually, I haven't told her about you yet.
I guess I'm not staying the night then, am I? I think it's real cute how hard your mom tries.
- I'm so sorry about her! - No, it's cute.
And refreshing.
My dad tries so hard that sometimes it freaks me out.
It's like he's pushing me.
- Pushing you out of the closet? - Yeah.
No.
No.
That's not fair.
He doesn't mean to.
That's why he got me this.
He just wants so bad for me to happy and honest.
He wants this perfect world where I'm out, proud, unashamed.
I just I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
- Are you ashamed? - No No, I'm I'm uncomfortable.
And, until I am You're not ready for the rest of the world to know.
I'm sorry, if you Is that what you said at dinner is true? You haven't always known? - You've always known? - Yeah! Two words: Laura Dern.
I remember the first time we watched Jurassic Park at Melissa Barkley's slumber party, I knew right away.
And, Melissa Barkley's older sister may have had something to do with it.
I guess it just never occurred to me.
I always knew something.
But, do you know how everyone always just assumes that you're straight? I guess I just assumed the same thing about myself.
That's because we live in a hetero-centric society.
- Now you sound like my dad.
- Yeah, well your dad sounds pretty smart.
Well, I think you're pretty smart.
I really like how you are always so sure of everything, about yourself.
Thanks I'm totally blushing.
What the hell? Dad? - What are you doing back? - Dad? - What the hell is this? - Ohh! This couldn't be more perfect! Coming out isn't easy, for anyone.
