"You think anyone gives a shit. People want you so they hate Remus. They don't need a reason. Everyone thinks you settled or Remus is rich or something. They don't need to know he's trans or he has HIV, they can find a reason to hate him." Felix did find it funny that Sirius had yet to grasp that. It wasn't anything about Remus, it was all about Sirius. "The shit Holden got was cause he was with me. The gay club lost a prolific fucker and it's so hard to find blokes who are true switches and can top, you know? So they hated him cause he stole me. And they think the same of your Remus."

And they always would. "They aren't going to tell you to your face but they talk about it. I've heard it." He reached out and patted Sirius on the arm sympathetically. "Remus knows it too. They say it to his face."
