You don't have "the gay" do you?
Sorry,
that's just what my grandma used to ask at the ol' family reunions.
I think it depends on who you talk to. I have never let my family or friends in my personal life unless it's absolutely necessary. It's just that it's
my personal life. If I choose to share it, so be it, but it isn't mandatory.
My family used to ask all the questions and I used to get a "weirdo" vibe from some of them. My friends, on the other hand, don't really see it all that strange.
Time's a big factor as well. The longer somebody is exposed to an unusual situation the easier it is for them to stop wondering.
