90 Day Fiance: The Other Way<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\nGabriel and Isabel finally took their long-hyped, long-dreaded trip to see her parents. He is no stranger to them, but he is nervous.<\/p>\n
Before he seeks their approval to marry their daughter, he wants to come out to them as transgender.<\/p>\n
The thing is, he already has <\/em>their approval. They clearly know that he\u2019s good for their daughter. But Gabe\u2019s fear is that all of that will go away due to prejudice.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Early in Season 4, Episode 7, Gabriel Paboga met up with his friend, Trey.<\/p>\n
The two met in Colombia and bonded over, at first, nothing more than a shared language: English. In time, they formed an actual friendship.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Trey thinks that Gabe is moving too quickly when it comes to marrying Isabel. Gabriel is impulsive, it\u2019s true, but it\u2019s unclear what Trey thinks will go awry.<\/p>\nWe got to watch Gabe make a trial run of coming out \u2014 because he came out as trans to Trey.<\/p>\n
Despite a lengthy friendship, he never clocked Gabriel. And it didn\u2019t come up, and they weren\u2019t mutuals on social media.<\/p>\n
Trey admitted his surprise, but thankfully there was no unfortunate fallout. Anyone who comes out \u2014 gay, bi, trans, ace, or otherwise \u2014 knows that there is some risk of backlash. Sometimes, over the person\u2019s identity. Other times, over a feeling of entitlement to having known this sooner.<\/p>\nWe mentioned that Trey doesn\u2019t seem too keen on Gabe marrying Isabel. It turns out that Isabel doesn\u2019t care for Trey, either.<\/p>\n
Gabriel wants his soon-to-be fiancee to get along with his buddy. <\/p>\n
The good news is that it doesn\u2019t sound like either of them has wronged the other. But that doesn\u2019t mean that they like each other.<\/p>\nWhen Trey asked Isabel directly what she dislikes about him, she told him that he is a bad influence. She feels that he is a womanizer. We don\u2019t know if that\u2019s an accurate assessment, or if she\u2019s jumping to conclusions based upon her own toxic exes.<\/p>\n
(It doesn\u2019t sound like they\u2019ve discussed this before, but there\u2019s no better time than filming for reality TV \u2026 we suppose)<\/p>\n
Fortunately, they quickly found some levity.<\/p>\nGabe and Trey brought up that Trey now knows that he is trans.<\/p>\n
The delivery and the timing broke the tension.<\/p>\n
However, after Isabel\u2019s friend Mateo arrived, they did have some serious subjects to include.<\/p>\nIsabel loves her family. Her kids love Gabe, and her parents seem to like him \u2026 so far.<\/p>\n
But when Gabriel comes out to them, she wonders how her father \u2014 in particular \u2014 will respond.<\/p>\n
He is a very religious man. Neither she nor Gabe know whether he holds bigoted views towards the transgender community.<\/p>\nThey took their long-awaited (but, perhaps, long-dreaded) trip to see Isabel\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
A lot is riding on this visit. Especially since Gabriel hopes to pop the question very soon.<\/p>\n
Once there, Isabel\u2019s parents gave them a warm reception.<\/p>\nThere were some awkward moments, however.<\/p>\n
The first was when Isabel\u2019s parents insisted that Gabe and Isabel \u2014 who are grown adults who live together \u2014 sleep in separate rooms.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s their house and they can make more or less whatever rules they like, but \u2026 it\u2019s weird and controlling. Just as it was for Brandon Gibbs\u2019 parents on 90 Day Fiance<\/em>.<\/p>\nA number of viewers really connected with Gabriel as Isabel\u2019s family prayed before their meal.<\/p>\n
Many people have found themselves guests in someone\u2019s home and felt unsure of what to do other than sit silently during a family prayer.<\/p>\n
In fact, even Christians or others who pray before eating may find that another family\u2019s habits and patterns for these rituals are unfamiliar or intimidating.<\/p>\nDuring the dinner itself (that food looked absolutely delicious, by the way), Isabel\u2019s parents did discuss the relationship.<\/p>\n
In the past, they disapproved of her relationships. She dated toxic men who did not respect her.<\/p>\n
It really sounded like they feel differently about Gabe.<\/p>\nOne point in his favor was that Isabel\u2019s kids like him. Miguel and Sara both made that clear.<\/p>\n
Sara also added that she sees how happy he makes her mom, which was a great detail to include.<\/p>\n
The producers spoke to Isabel\u2019s parents, who told the cameras that, at the moment, it looks like Gabriel is the perfect man for their daughter.<\/p>\nHowever, when encouraging Gabe to respect Isabel so that they can have a long and happy relationship, things took on a religious tone.<\/p>\n
In many cases, that is just fine. Countless people frame their ideas for a good relationship (or more) based upon their faith.<\/p>\n
But in Gabriel\u2019s case, a sizable majority of the bigoted comments that he receives online come from Christian conservatives. <\/p>\nAnd since that is likely to be the case almost anywhere outside of the UK (where transphobes have infiltrated more ostensibly left-leaning circles), he worries if his trans identity will set Isabel\u2019s parents against him.<\/p>\n
We all hope not. He\u2019s a great guy, and he and Isabel have a beautiful relationship from what we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n
It looks like, next week, Gabriel comes out to Isabel\u2019s parents. We wish him the very best.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
