A prevalent theme is courage. It takes a lot of guts for someone to be the first to admit their gay feelings in a relationship. Take a story where Matt tells Luke how he feels. Matt has to overcome his own insecurities. Also, acceptance is a key theme. The person who hears the confession may need time to accept not only the feelings but also their own possible new identity. And there's the theme of hope. The one going first hopes that this will lead to a deeper, more meaningful relationship like in the story of Sam and Ted where Sam's hope led to a loving relationship between them.
