I mean kind of, but I don't think it's because they thought I was gay. It was just literally every time they brought up the future, they would make it neutral. Like "and when you grow up and meet your wife or husband one day." , "Whenever you're old enough to bring home your boyfriend or girlfriend", etc. like they always did that since I was super little.
We moved a few years ago though to a very conservative town in the south, where some of my other family is. And that whole neutrality thing kind of stopped

My mom is sooo liberal and open-minded but I could tell she wanted me to fit in.
Eventually it got to be too much, and when she said things like "your future wife" and I just nodded along or ignored it, it felt like I was lying to her. And I'm such an honest person, I hate lying. And me and my mom have the closest relationship ever. So one day, all of my Hillary Clinton stuff came in the mail and I was gonna put out this yard sign. And we got in a huge fight because, even though she loves Hillary, she doesn't like having yard signs and causing unnecessary drama because everyone in town HATES her. And it really struck a chord with me and I kinda broke down and told her that I was gay, and that she better start caring less what people in town think because they're not going to be accepting of that either.
She took it well though and my immediate family is totally okay with it.

And everyone in town loves me, I've swayed a lot of opinions on the subject

of course I have to deal with some idiots, but eh. It can be entertaining tbh
