Even though my parents are wonderful people we still have our stresses, mistakes, a few scars, and our differences. They will never know I’m bisexual, they will never know I’ve done weed let alone hard(er) drugs, they don’t share my sense of humor - so we’re not “friends” - but we do love each other.

my folks my entire life thought I was gay. even though I had girlfriends my entire adult life… they just had such a stupidly narrow definition of straightness that things like reading books and liking school made them ‘suspicious’.
and i still meet so called progressive, adult women, who think this way to this day… esp because i cook and clean.

Have experienced similar. People love to speculate on this shit, for some reason. Ain’t they own sex lives interesting enough?!

They are afraid of how it would ‘reflect’ on them.
