so when i was younger I had this very strong assumption that my father was gay. I have no idea where it came from but I just thought he was gay, that my mom and him were just best friends living together, and that every time he left for work he would also be visiting his boyfriend. I remember telling my mom one day after he left for work “you know he’s going to his boyfriends right?” And she was like “what?” And I said “dad is gay” imagine my surprise when my parents told me they were actually married and in love. my whole world was flipped upside at 5years old because my father was actually not gay.
