At the weekend I mentioned to my final relative, my mother's sister, that I am gay. I then wrote her a letter explaining that I had not intended to shock her, and suggested that, if she had any questions, she should talk to me.
This evening I had a phone call form her daughter "Why did you tell her that you're gay?" Apparently it had taken her back to 1975 when she was rumoured at work to be a lesbian.
This makes total sense, of course, provided you have no common sense at all.
So I get told off because the silly woman (a) didn't have the wit to talk to me, (b) was once accused of being a lesbian (c) because I was apparently meant to keep this secret, (d)....
So now I probably have to phone her and talk sweetly to her because I have somehow upset her daughter.
There were no such problems when she met my M2F trans cousin, her new niece!
Do they just all want centre spot on my stage?
