I have one. It mentions abuse so I’ll add it to a spoiler.
My dads mom is anti lgbt, though less than before. When I visited her two years ago she cornered me and asked some questions, including if I’m a lesbian. I said yes, and she didn’t freak out like that time when I was a teen, but started asking questions. The first and wildest one was if my dad (her son) abused my mom. This was apparently the first thing she thought of when hearing that I’m a lesbian. I understand she probably believed that I could only turn lesbian if I went through a traumatic experience related to straight relationships, but imagine asking that about up your own kid. Sure, abusers aren’t always stereotypically evil seeming and easy to find but thinking “my grandkid is gay therefore my son must abuse his wife” with no other evidence seems wild to me. He never has and never seemed like he might. The reason I can’t tell family is because my mom will tell my dad, my sister will blab to someone (probably multiple people), and it’ll make its way to my dad, my brother isn’t one of talk about this with (and he might blab), my other brother is too young; and my aunt will either tell my grandma or tell a person who will tell a person who will tell a person who will tell my dad. If I were my dad I’d be pissed about this and I don’t want to affect his relationship with her so everyone seems to be out. But online people, most of who will never meet them, are safe
