This Is Completely Plausible And Also The "do You Only Treat Queers?" Line Makes Even More Sense Because

This is completely plausible and also the "do you only treat queers?" Line makes even more sense because if he's not queer himself why would Trina assume he only therapises the gays

Okay in one of my first posts I mentioned that Mendel being bisexual is the only non-official LGBT headcanon that I fully believe, and due to popular demand (literally one person supporting the idea) I'm gonna explain more about how I imagine that going-

I made this post because of how I imagined Trina's reaction but then I just kept going and now its an essay I'm sorry-

First of all, Mendel is very casual about his sexuality and probably didn't have a formal 'coming out' to anyone. He'd just be watching tv or something and comment on how one of the male actors is hot, and everyone in the room who heard him just nod in understanding. Like I think generally everyone’s very chill with it.

I do, however, think that Trina had a brief moment of panic when she first overheard him say something like that, and honestly that's understandable. She's been with a gay man once and it did not go over well, I wouldn't wanna go through that shit again either- She probably brought it up to him later on that night, when he'd long since forgotten about the offhanded comment, and he tried to explain to her that "no no I promise I'm attracted to women and I love you so much, I just think men can be just as attractive, I mean tell me *insert actor* isn't hot-" and point is, he gets it through to her that bisexuals exists and that he would never leave her, and ofc she's completely fine with it (and in the future they probably bond over certain actors they both think are hot).

Meanwhile, Jason was in the room the same time Trina found out and also brought it up later, but in less of a panic and more just normal conversation. He was just playing chess with himself, as he often is, and said something like “hey so you’re not gay like my father are you? You seem to really love my mom so I’d be really surprised if you don’t like girls.”

No one else had much of a notable reaction. Marvin had known Mendel for years even when the musical started, so I assume he found out a long time ago. Although, I do want to specify that (and this might be bias from the character Christian played in Smash) he has dogshit gaydar, so the only reason he knew so early on was because Mendel would sometimes bring it up in session to relate to Marvin when he spoke about Whizzer and being gay in general. And of course, Whizzer has a functioning gaydar so he’s not at all surprised.
