Aint no way they dont know. They just lie to themselves and others because they think that being gay is something to be ashamed of. There is no way people are this oblivious for decades.

Do I not wear enough flannel?

🤣

My brother isn't gay...but I'm beginning to think his husband might be a tad light in the loafers.

(He's the best part of our family)

To be fair, me and my best friend originally bought this house together.

He's gay, I'm not.

Special circumstances though; my dad owned it, and fucked up, so we bought it to both help him and keep the house in the family.

And, we shared a single room for half the time he lived here because it was the family home, and my mom and sister still lived here.

We also shared rooms when we lived elsewhere, because single rooms were cheaper to rent, and in one case we preferred using the second room for a combo mini library/storage space.

A lot of people thought we were a couple. And, I guess, it could be argued that we were if you stretch the meaning far enough.

This is a good anecdote about misinformation as well - when someone believes that they have the answer, they often never reassess the situation, which can get to the point where the real answer is staring them right in the face, but they can't see it because they're not looking; why would they? They already know the answer! This is how lies can spread so easily even when easily debunked. Nobody bothers to listen to the debunking.

5.5 years into my marriage and my family has zero clue lol.

Same here! I even called my aunts wife auntie and didn't make the connection. I was like, oh rent must be really expensive in Cali cause they only have 1 bed 💀

My grandmother had a good friend, who was widowed young. Her brother in law remarried her, as I’m told was slightly old-fashioned, but not unheard of at the time. He then died in WWI, and the other brother was a priest. He got special dispensation to support her financially, and they lived together with two bedrooms they after his retirement. In their eighties, they moved into one room, with two twin beds and two attached dressing rooms, ostensibly for safety reasons, but we never knew if they were in love.

oh my god they were roommates

Just a couple of gal pals

I didn't know my late grandmother dated women until I was like 25 and my mother pointed it out. Though, to be fair I was really young (under 5) the last time she lived with someone. If I had to guess, she probably swore off relationships after her "roommate," Dolores, stole a bunch of money from her.

This ~~straight~~ up

🥰

This is basically my aunt, although she hasn't realized she's a lesbian yet.

Who the fuck are these dense people? It's not 1928 anymore...

Lol, mood. And yeah my grandma probably tells my cousin my wife and I are just "… friends …"
