I don't really understand gay couples either, I don't even understand gay people singularly. I think I understood them better as a child to be honest, like oh look two men are in a relationship that's nice for them. Now I see a lot more detail and it starts getting confusing, like when you see two handsome guys just hanging out in a coffee bar holding hands. Where did they meet? It sure as fuck wasn't on Grindr! And how can they just walk around being hot and sexy all day! Why aren't they exhausted by the pure pressure of existence?!

But yeah you don't need to understand, no one understands anything anyway it's far harder to understand why two men shouldn't be allowed to love each other. Can anyone ever actually explain that without evoking a whole big fantasy about a powerful wizard that said it's naughty?

I think that's what they actually mean, it's really hard to convince a kid that two guys shouldn't be allowed to be happy together especially when you can just look over and see two perfectly happy guys in nice clothes who look like they've stopped for lunch before going and bring really good at some racket based sport after which they're going to a movie and sitting with their arms around each other... Strong arms from the racket sport, a slight hint of perspiration even after their shower together...
