All the previous love stories from Zootopia that I told you about were between a man and a woman, so I felt like giving some attention to same-sex couples. Also, when I heard their story, I just couldn't help but tell it to whoever I could. This is a story of Clyde Barker, a 19-year-old skinny, effeminate male Wolf with grey fur, and Soren Kissinger, a 42-year-old muscular, hypermasculine Lion with golden and brown fur. They were both homosexual. Kissinger grew up with parents that couldn't accept him for who he was, and Clyde was still living with parents that couldn't accept him for who he was. Clyde managed to pretend to be asexual (something his parents wanted more than for him to be heterosexual), and managed to stay in the closet until he went to a college psychology course being taught by Soren. During the class, Soren would often ask very smart questions, and Clyde and Soren started to fall in love with each other when they knew that the other was their intellectual equal.

At the end of class, Clyde stayed behind, having fallen for Soren. They talked about their lives, then they talked about politics and science, and grew closer to each other due to similar interests and ideologies. Then they set a date. That weekend, they were going to have dinner together at a five-star Italian restaurant, and Soren would pay for it all with no regrets and no strings attached. Clyde didn't tell his parents who the date was with, and even said that it was just between friends, but he told them that he was going to dinner at the restaurant with somebody who would comp the whole meal. They got there, and were hypnotized by each other's features before the food even got there. Soren liked Clyde's youthful, soft features, being very much into femboys (even having this one sexual quirk where he would watch porn of them having sex the same way straight and bisexual men watch lesbian porn, with the same mentality), and Clyde was enamored with Soren's rippling muscles and chiseled facial features. They wound up doing that one Lady and the Tramp thing with the spaghetti, and only stopped making out because Clyde's parents had walked in and caught them red-handed.

Clyde's parents said to him directly that if they ever saw him with another man, ESPECIALLY Soren, again, they would disown him and leave him to starve to death on the streets. However, Clyde kept meeting with Soren at the end of class, because nothing could keep them apart. However, eventually, the end of the semester came, and they might not ever see each other again. They decided that they couldn't stand to live without each other. At the end of class on the last day of the semester, Soren drove Clyde to a luxurious hotel. They rented out a room there, and consummated their relationship. The sex was rough, intense, but it was still very, very passionate. Then, when they were going to go to bed, they both swallowed enough sleeping pills to kill them. They went to bed together, wanting to spend their last night alive with each other. Snuggling each other, they fell asleep in each other's arms, and never woke up.

Clyde's parents found his body, still embracing Soren's, still in bed, the next morning, after locating Clyde's cell phone. After writing the suicide note written by the two together, they changed drastically. They had another gay son, whose name was Samuel, Clyde's identical twin. When they got home, they asked Samuel if he had anything to tell them. He burst into tears as he came out, and they embraced him, accepting him for who he was. They would always refer to their dead son as "Clyde Kissinger-Barker" or "Clyde Kissinger". At the end of it all, his parents found out that they were pansexual, and they just didn't want to acknowledge attraction to the same sex. They hung the note their son and his true love left over what once was his bedroom, now turned into a shrine in memory of both him and Soren. They buried the two in the same casket, in the same grave, with the same gravestone.

The note reads: To Samson and Clara Barker: This is your son, Clyde, speaking. I finally made the best decision in my life, and that was to end it on a high note. I wasn't going to go back to living in fear of your hatred, your refusal to accept me for who I was, and I definitely wasn't going back without Soren by my side. I would rather die, in this hotel, embracing my true love in bed, then maybe a few decades down the line, brokenhearted and regretful, wishing that you were still alive, so that I could curse you out to your face with my dying breaths. I just hope that my passing will teach you one thing: No matter how much you or ANYONE ELSE tries, true love will always find a way to be, if not in this life, then in whatever life comes next after this one, and anyone who tries to stop it will end up wishing that they had simply let it be. I die happy, not only that I am dying beside the perfect man for me, the one that I truly love more than my own life, but that I am dying away from the two people who caused me more misery than every bully and every hateful sermon in my life. I die possibly the happiest man in this universe. -Clyde Dunsworth Barker

The gravestone read: "Clyde Kissinger-Barker and Soren Kissinger. Two lovers that wouldn't let anything keep them apart, and who loved each other more than their own lives. We're sorry for what we did, Clyde. We're so, very sorry that we couldn't accept you. At least we could bury you with him."
