I have an aunt who to this day lives together with her best friend.

50 years and counting.

We have regular family gatherings with me 300+ head extended family (1 weekend per year and 2 gathering afternoons per year) and we have over 20 gay couples in the mix.

LGBTQ+ acceptance is universal in my family.

They still are in the closet and saying they are just friends.

Friends that sleep in a single bed hotel room and smooch when people aren't watching.

Yep, they gay... but who cares, right 🤷.

I have a male friend that has a best friend and they're "really close" and both of them are kinda gayish... but to this day (this has been going on for well over a decade now) they say they're just friends. No one's seen them kissing or anything, but they do share hotel rooms, beds, whatever. They even live in the same building (one of them moved to be closer to the other one).

Oh, and none of them has had a gf since they've met each other. I know my friend has had gfs before, but as to his friend, IDK, he says he has had gfs.

Just remembered another thing, my friend was really secretive when introducing his new "friend" to us... had no idea why he was like that at the time.

It's all good, I don't judge, they wanna play sharades, that's fine by me. I don't ask, they don't tell 🤷.

We care that history has made it so that they for themselves can't be open about who they are while it's overly obvious our whole family doesn't care and is accepting.

The damage the severe repression of LGBTQ+ in society has done, that still lingers in people strong enough that they can't be who they are while nobody around them would see anything wrong with them being out.

How sad that is is what we care about.

It is sad, I agree.

My opinion is people should mind their own business, in gneral. I do and I really have no idea who is gay or not, unless it's blaintly obvious... and even then, I don't care, that doesn't change my feelings towards that person.
