The thing is when people say that Eddie wouldn't care about being gay or whatever he is does have some truth to it. However when he first figures out he likes men I think he will have some issue with identifying with who he is. Not because of internalized homophobia or anything, but because Eddie has always known who he is. He is was a husband, a father, a veteran, a firefighter, a friend. Now he has this new, undefined label because he really did love Shannon (however that love maybe construed), and he is struggling because there is this new thing he doesn't know. And I think that is what will make him spiral â not him liking men, or being in love with Buck, but not knowing something about himself.
Also he's fucking ace. That reaaaaaaaally complicates things.
