Family issues, I do agree I think they both have. Greg growing up in the SF area though you might think his parents would be more accepting of homosexuality - maybe. Nick's father does seem like a guy who wants to be in control which is probably why Nick left.
While Nick's parents may probably be homophobic (though one never knows), I think Greg's family's probably not homophobic, but the problem would be that he's the only son, hence he's their only hope to have (lots of) biological grandchildren and fulfill his mother's dream. Maybe if he was just one of many children, they wouldn't have a problem at all with it.
