Yes! This is one of the few subs that I've been missing in my life, despite being cis/het. Calling out LGBTQ+ erasure is extremely important, as is pointing out the comically ludicrous lengths that some will go to in order to avoid acknowledging loving LGBTQ+ relationships.
There's a UK daytime TV show (Escape to the Country maybe, although there's seemingly a ton of shows to cater to the UK hobby of obsessing over house prices). I swear, every time I've seen it on at work, it's always "lifelong friends" and a same-sex couple buying.
Being on in the daytime, it's clearly aimed at all the Daily Mail reading pensioners. I've no idea how they haven't cottoned on yet. They must all be sitting there thinking it's perfectly normal that good friends spend £850,000 on a country house together...
They just bachelors mate. They're wingmates looking out for each other mate. Now the house is double impressive than what they could have afforded by themselves. Chicks gonna love it mate.
