While Nick is as openly gay as a man could be in the 50's, Andy (who is bisexual) has always ignored that part of himself, knowing what he ultimately wanted was a family. Over the course of the novel, Andy comes to realize all the things a family can mean, and Nick, who has only been able to experience his sexuality furtively and read novels where gay men met tragic ends, realizes he can have a happily ever after. Against the backdrop of the Village in the 1950's and the newsroom of a progressive paper, Nick and Andy realize their connection is worth taking risks and planting roots.
