- It also depends on where those relatives are. I mean I have one 1st cousin
- that is supposedly a lesbian, and two second or third cousins that are
- are supposedly gay. But I don't ask for verification because the second
- or third cousins are in rural south carolina... Home of the redneck and
- idget. You just don't ask. And it just isn't the sort of thing mentioned
- when I am with those parts of the family. I mean I generally see those
- members of the family with a grandmother of mine that goes into fits at
- the mention that one of my great great grandfathers was a bastard.
-
- The other thing is that it isn't really my business. I would be overjoyed
- if I could quit hearing news like "Your cousin... is preggers, or your
- cousin got so and so preggers..."
