I mean nobody cares any more do they, so why make a song and dance about it?

The most sensible answer. There should of simply be no issues. And if there are within the family then it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Given the number of answers to this and the other threads on the topic, it appears to matter to many people in both a negative and positive way.

there are quite a few openly gay tv presenters now, and more declaring
it in recent times, in the 60's 70's they existed but more as a parody.
people knew for example frankie howard, charles hawtrey, kenneth williams were, now we have a sea change, good luck to them all.
my only gripe is this transgender in children, push them on pill etc
and teaching about it in primary schools.
