    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?

      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.”

        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.

        “We kinda already knew.”

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

    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.

      Gay is another word for homosexual. Someone who is attracted to the same gender.

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