Keeping with Pride Week:
The old relative that everyone decided it would “be best not to tell them you’re gay.. it’d just confuse them”. who keeps asking “do you have a girlfriend yet?”

Sounds like that should be a bit higher on the list.(?)
I’ve never told my grandparents, what the hell, they will be dead in a few years, might as well let them enjoy their last few years of obliviousness.
Mole Rat, a very wise and compassionate decision. Sometimes they can be the hardest to make.
My grandmother asked my younger sister if I was gay, because I am 23 and unwed…
I’m sure it would’ve been harder if I was “full gay” heh
I’m only half gay myself…but it’s the back half.
HAHA Anton. I remember one Christmas when I was 21. My grandmother told everyone who called that I MUST be a lesbian because I was “21 and didn’t have a boyfriend.” She was quite appalled that someone my age wouldn’t have a “steady” boyfriend (because she was old as ass and probably figured I should be married by the time I turned 16). So I *must* be a lesbian because i was single. One of her friends told her off and said “pfft, she’s SMART to not have a bf.” Hah.
LOL Miles…thanks for that one!
