My best friend is a gay man. His husband and my husband also know each other as they played in the same football club up until about 2-3 years ago.
Friend is hosting an early halloween party at his house. He said it will be about 80% gay men and the other 20% will be straight couples. So far, he's said he's found it disappointing that the only noes he's been getting for the party have been from straight couples, usually where the female member can come, but the husband or boyfriend cannot.
I asked DH if he was going to come and he said he wasn't sure. I pushed him on why he didn't want to come and he told me he wasn't sure if he felt comfortable in going.
