How to handle this situation...?
I am going to Flordia on my spring break this year. I am 15 and I am staying with my uncle and his partner, he is gay. I have talked with them a lot on the phone and I know them pretty well, but I usually only see them once every couple of years. So when we do talk it's akward. I am a little concerened about being the only girl in a house with 2 gay men. I am not worried about them being gay, quite honestly their sex life is not my business. Also they have a room mate that is an older straight male. Has anyone here been in a similair situation and does anyone have any tips on things I should or should not do while I am staying there? Don't get me wrong, I love them, I just don't want things to be akward and I don't want to look stupid.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Just relax and be yourself, your uncle will understand if you are feeling unsure of how to act and will want to do what he can to make you comfortable.....

Would you feel the same way if your uncle was straight and married? I don't think that this situation requires any more effort than what it would with anyone else. Since you acknowledge that their sex life is none of your business, just try to keep it out of your head and focus on having a good spring break getting to know your uncle and his partner. just be a good, polite houseguest.

Why are you going to stay there if you do not feel comfortable. Do not say that you feel comfortable because if you did then you would not be this worried about it. They are people treat them as such. Go and treat them like they are your uncles.......and that's it. Talk to them the same as you would your straight uncles. I hope that you change your feelings and that you go and have a good time.

I think if you want some good responses you need to post this in the gay/lesbain and transgendered section. There you will get the point of view from an actual gay person. :)
