If someone who you didn't know was gay yet casually mention their husband in a conversation with you would you flinch?

[Still-alive]

So lets say you work somewhere and a male customer starts casually talking to you and says something like ‘oh me and my husband went out to that restaurant the other day. It was delicious.’ You didn’t know he was gay before he said this.

would you flinch? Any reaction from you at all to that?

i remember working with this woman who was a lesbian and she just casually mentioned her wife to this truck driver and he definitely took notice and asked her to say it again as if he didn’t hear her lol. Anyways it just makes me wonder if people make mental notes like this when it’s casually mentioned like a straight person would.

I would make note of that but not bring attention to it

I wouldn’t think anything about it

Id try to end this conversation asap

Id have a different reaction or thoughts (say what)

I try to remember just like if u try to remember when they say they have a kid or their mom lives in China. U know more about them. But I'm not surprised by it unless I thought they were straight 4 sum reason.

Ik what u mean tho I've got some like double takes when I drop "husband" w new people. A couple times got weird offended type reaction even, which was awkward. But only rarely. Most people don't care, which is nice.

In that situation, make a mental note solely because it sounds like they're my customer and it can help me serve them better.

In real life, no reaction. Some of that from my time in the Navy where I'd often hear things and wouldn't have the luxury of reacting so trained myself not to.

But in this case, that they're gay doesn't matter.

Yeah, I wouldn’t “dorify” it 🐠 and forget it’s existence. 😂

I’d make note; obviously use that as well to assess them as an overall person.

Continue talking about the topic at hand.

If the person is not someone I was attracted to, I don’t mind.

If it was a guy and he mentioned a spouse and it just so happened to be the same gender, I’d be devastated x2, lol.

Voted Note, but no attention.

I would make a note but I wouldn't bring attention to it. I know that not everyone is straight. If it's ok for a straight individual to mention their wife/husband, it should be ok for a gay person to do the same. I would be surprised but I wouldn't ask them to repeat it nor I would ask them any question.

[Lucy68]

Why would I, i don't care if someone is gay or not, as long as they're a nice person that's all that matters to me

[petitedollbabee]

I’d feel happy for them since I know that it can be hard for gay & lesbian people to find partners. I would never insult them for it if they had a husband.

[RobT312]

I have been at a dinner table and have seen that happen. I wasn’t part of the convo, just overheard it. Everyone seemed to make note, but no one commented and the convo went on

[Sour-rose]

It would catch my attention for sure, thinking they are gay... or they did exactly what I wanted, listen.

[Leopard23]

A girl I was hooking up with way back casually mentioned her girlfriend.

[Guardian45]

I'm NOT bothered by it, unless they're hitting on me.

[Guardian45]

Which has happened to me.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I’d make the same face as him

Oh cool! My exact response. I ask how he's doing sometimes.

[call_me_scar]

I'd process the info but wouldn't care
