On one occasion, you saw Danny walked past by the parents of the child. They invited Danny over to talk to him. You could not hear their conversation, but you could see the parents' talking sternly to him. The conversation ended, and you saw Danny walking away, looking deeply upset and agitated. As the parents already know you, they decided to approach you to complain about Danny. In your conversation with the parents, they shared with you that according to their religion, it is a sin to engage in romantic relationships with the same sex. It outrages them that Danny, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, is employed at the centre and is allowed to be near their child.
