NEPHEWS
"The concierge in our building often referred to my new partner Michael as my son ('Votre fiston est deja sorti'); older gay men called their companions their 'nephews.' One time I was with Bernard when he ran into a tante (queen) who said, 'Do you know my nephew?'
'Yes,' Bernard replied, 'he was my nephew last year.'"
From Chapter 9
