It's a good thing that people are more willing to declare their sexuality nowadays. I have an Uncle who is gay but remains firmly "in the closet". He's had the same partner for over 30 years but still can't bring himself to come out. It's his decision but I'd prefer if he was open. As it is we have to tiptoe round the sexuality thing and it makes it awkward at times. For example at family occasions we can't include his partner in invites although it's probably the person he's closest to. We do try to get round by suggesting he bring his "friend" along to drive so he can have a drink, but it's all a bit contrived.
