When Dominique tracks down his dad, the man berates him demanding to know if he’s “a faggot”. Unable to answer, Dominique’s dad publicly disowns him. Determined to live in his truth, Dominique heeds his mother’s advice and resolves to finally connect with his step-father and learn how to be his own man and how to tie his own tie.
