My sister just told my father that Megan's gay. Apparently he was stunned. She pointed out that you can't spit at my mother's family without hitting a homosexual, and he was all "really??"
HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO NOT BE PAYING ATTENTION???
He asked who else, but she got self-conscious about outing people, so just named one of my mother's sisters (my sister and I had known for 20 years, but she just came out to Mummy a year or so ago, to her astonishment), and he was "Hey, I knew that one!". Sis pointed out that the woman she always travels with and sleeps in the same bed with is her long time (8 yrs?) SO, and he was all "Ohhh.....I thought they were co-workers...."
She also told him about Megan's sister, but not about anyone else. So now he's worried he'll say the wrong thing by mistake.
She pointed out he has had 1 job--diplomat, and when was the last time he said something he didn't mean to say?
My family, I swear. They're all "I can't handle the gay..."
You handle the gay every day--you just don't know it, because Sis didn't run down the full list.
