[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the same, I know, but OP you reminded me of when I was visiting my mom and met her church friends about 25 years ago.  There was one heterosexual couple who hung out with a somewhat effeminate man who was friends with the husband. At some point, the husband started talking about when he had a job in DC and was living away from his family back in Ohio.  He started telling me about all the great times he had in Dupont Circle back in the 70s.  I had just read an article in the WaPo about the changing demographics in Dupont and said without thinking, oh, Dupont is no longer such a gay neighborhood anymore.  Sudden silence.

Later I talked with the wife about how hard it must have been to have her husband commuting to DC for work (because my dh and I were doing something similar).  She said oh it was no problem.

Later my mom was a little upset because she couldn't believe the effeminate male friend was gay.  (I must have said something.  I don't know why she would have brought it up by herself.) I said nothing but I thought, "Yeah, and the husband is gay too and the wife is fine with it."  Mom, so oblivious![/quote]

I know two couples like this. One is a high powered female CEO and her gay husband and hid long time partner. She is in s very prominent position in the DC area…. The three owned an apartment together in NYC and have a country house together.

The other is a dear friend. She has dropped hints. I think they truly adore and love each other in a nonsexual way. [/quote]
