Luke may have been onto something, staying in the closet all those years. Given all the danger that tends to surround him and his parents -- mom Lily Snyder and adoptive dad of her on-again/off-again husband, Holden -- it was probably safer inside!

But Luke's as honest as his folks are, and he wanted to be truthful with them and with the world at large. Lily balked at first. And Luke's biological father, Damian Grimaldi, tried to send him to a deprogramming camp. (Yeah, that'd work.) Yet the teen stood his ground and remained the only thing he could be -- himself.

Although Holden helped Lily to accept their son's orientation, not everyone came around so quick. His boyfriend Noah's father, for instance, showed what he thought by shooting the brave young man. (Guess he preferred Noah's ex, Luke's pal Maddie Coleman.)

But the shooting only brought Luke and Noah closer. By the time Luke recovered from his paralysis, they were ready to face whatever the future would bring. Of course, they couldn't have guessed that it would bring a cute Iraqi girl whom Noah would marry to get her a green card. Luckily, Luke's always played it straight, no pun intended. And if he continues to do so, there's no obstacle he and Noah can't overcome. Um, right?
