      I think I’ve just assumed she was gay for the last five years or so.

      “I have an important announcement to make. I’m gay.”

      “We kinda already knew.”

        “We kinda already knew.”

        I imagine that’s probably one of the most desired reactions to coming out, no?

        Apparently, that’s how it was with my great-uncle (close to my parents’ age) in the eighties. He says my grandma was an asshole because she asked him if he just found out because everyone else had been known.

    idk, I just kinda hope we can get past ‘coming out’ and just accept people.

    I know it’s a very idealistic view and people face horrendous challenges, discrimination and even death.

    But love will win, won’t it?

    No shit, after her dating Kate Harrison for a while and them probably even exchanging rings of some sort, this isn’t that much of a surprise.

    Wouldn’t a “gay woman” be into man?

    I think the right terminology is lesbian.

    Anyway. Cool.

      The word gay has been used synonymous to homosexual for quite a while. So gay women usually does mean lesbian

        Ah interesting, thanks. Where I come from gay is exclusively for man in to man sexuality. Thought it was the same in English.
