Hi Jake,I’m pretty sure my nephew is gay even though he’s never said anything. It’s not like I have explicit evidence, but I’ve always been super close to him, and an aunt knows her nephew. Looking back, I think the signs were always there.
He never really fit in with the other boys at school, and certainly wasn’t the jock his dad wanted him to be. He gravitated towards girlfriends (platonic), and has always been a little reserved.

He’s distanced himself from the family and seems to have turned even more inward.
He used to share everything with me, but now he has a whole private world. On top of that, some of the things he’s into lately seem like they might align with my theory.
He’s obsessed with Ariana Grande, which I’m pretty sure isn’t a straight guy thing, right? (Please forgive me if this is my own bias.) I also saw that he follows some LGBTQ influencers and drag performers on social media.The point is, I’m on 100% on his side, and I really want him to know that.
