A chestnut of an anecdote is making the rounds on the Internet again, as LGBTQ folks continue to marvel at how a gay guy and his lesbian sister outsmarted their parents.
“My sister is a lesbian and I’m gay but our parents are very conservative,” the original post reads. “So she ‘dates’ my BF [and] I ‘date’ her GF, so if they stay over, they stay in opposite rooms, but joke’s on my parents.”
In a recent Reddit post, the story is paired with a meme image of Dave Chapelle saying, “Modern problems require modern solutions.”
This is genius from gay

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The anecdote seems to date back to a Yik Yak post shared back in March 2017. At the time, Imgur commenters had plenty of ideas for continuing the charade.
“Hold a double wedding, and surprise your parents when you pair up with your spouses at the altar,” one person wrote.
“And wait until ‘You may now kiss the bride’ to switch!” another chimed in.

The straights have their own version of this scheme. “My sister and I did the same thing, but we were straight,” a third commenter revealed. “She brought over my GF to spend the night, and I had her BF over to spend the night.”
Well, maybe — just maybe — we gays don’t have the monopoly on cleverness.

Looks like Queerty has become a site for sex apps. Stories aren’t much better.

So they haven’t outwitted shit and are still stuck in the closet.

Exactly….how sad. I hope the insurance payout when Mom & Dad croak will be worth the stupid ’70’s sitcom-plot lifestyle, lol….
