I've told my story on here a few times. My sister is gay, Her and her spouse were first in line in Evansville to get a license when they legalized it. They were in the newspaper back then and everything. My sister didn't come out of the closet until around 1995 or so, but she had been living with her partner and current spouse for the better part of 10 years at that point. When she came out to the family, we were all like "Yeah? OK. We all kinda figured that anyway." and I went on about loving her like the great sister she's always been to me. They live a quiet peaceful life, they don't march in the streets or rub anything in anyone's faces. they just want to be left alone to live their normal lives and they've been successful doing just that. Many of their gay friends I've known since well before they came out and are all like part of the family.
