real life gay experience, a woman made her emigrant brother (in the 70s) marry the girl she loved, cause that meant she would stay with her parents and her while he was actually away, and then she just didnt get married herself until pretty late. but also,they were very touchy and kissy, and cuddled and slept together for years. so yeah. gay girls been consciously or unconsciously doing that for years

Ah, damn, but that gets sad real fast. It’s one thing when it’s resolved quickly and happily and, you know, involving fictional characters, but people living their whole lives like that, ouch.
