Chapter -4 Scene 19 (or “Theories of Humor & the Absurd pt. 1”)

[Matt deGomme]
     “How do I know if a guy is gay?” Adam asked.
     Instead of laughing in Adam’s face, he took a drag of his cigarette, looked down for a moment, then replied, “If it’s not obvious, his eyes will betray the secret. When your eyes connect his are a question, as if he’s unsure whether he’s looking at you or not. Even when his gaze is not directed towards you, his eyes are always looking, searching. Sometimes it’s most pronounced when he’s staring straight ahead at what looks like nothing. You can see it even when they’re closed. When he enters the room, you’ll see him scan all of the faces with a sort of… modest intensity. He will always look up to examine when someone new, especially a man, enters the door. Always looking — always hungry for other eyes. A welcome often rescinded before you even knew you were invited.”
      “What?”
      In spite of himself, he laughed. He took another drag of his cigarette and let it out slowly. “Wear sunglasses.”
