Cosgrove and Bernard in “Wicked Game”

[Bernard and Cosgrove have just talked to a murder victim's family who disowned him for being gay]

I can't believe what I just heard. What is this, 1954? Kickin' a kid out because you think he "chose" to be gay?

Crazy, but it's still a thing in my community, especially among the religious folks.

I don't get it.

Don't get what?

People - Black people. Here you are, marching in the streets for police reform, all these progressive laws, but if your kid turns out to be gay? Well, he needs counseling. You need to make him "right with God". You ask me, that's what you need to be marching about.

OK, you're right, but don't act like your people are much better. You still can't have premarital sex, for God's sake.

Reason number 36 why I don't go to church anymore.
