We Shall Never Speak of This Again
Sometimes, there are family secrets that make you wonder why they were kept a secret all these years. Take, for instance, this story where the OP learned that their aunt was a lesbian and living with her partner across the country for the last four decades. If the aunt came out today, maybe nobody would bat an eye.
But in the 1980s, things were different. The aunt probably couldn’t stand living a lie and came out to her parents and siblings, who took it poorly, forcing her aunt to move across the country and fend for herself. When the OP brought the topic up with their dad, he said that they shouldn’t talk about it ever again.
