Here's an example of a real life event: About seventeen years ago, I worked as an infertility counselor for a gynecologist friend. He was a great guy and we got along very well. He invited me to his home to work on a presentation. He introduced me to J., who had decorated the house. I marvelled at the interior design and they asked if I wanted a tour. We got to the master bedroom, which was exquisite. J. said awkwardly "and this is the bedroom. We walked to a smaller room which contained a desk, office equipment, and a small couch. It was obvious that no one slept there. At the end of the tour I thanked them and said that A. was lucky to have someone in his life who took care of things so beautifully, that it was apparent that they were a gay couple and I was flattered to be trusted with that knowledge. It opened up the relationship to a lot more honesty. Years later, A. delivered my daughter and we used to tease that he was her second father, as it was through his infertility treatments and surgical procedures that I was able to give birth to a child.
