Summary
Coach’s jersey from his time as UGA’s star quarterback is framed over the den, hanging above their television for all to see when the Bittle uncles descend on their house for NFL Sunday.
By contrast, his mama’s uniform as a member of UGA’s cheer squad is sequestered away in a clear garment bag, hidden in her closet behind the winter coat she bought when they spent Eric’s winter break in Colorado three years ago—the farthest northwest he’s ever been. He hasn’t seen snow since.
The only reason Eric knows it’s there is that he saw her put it away.
Bitty’s behavior predates his sexuality. It predates his gender, too.
