Oh - what did you think was the deal with Hobie and Welty? They were an old married couple, right? The sort of old school type where everyone knows but it's never mentioned as such?

Theo must have figured it out at some point; did he never ever mention it past the "old poofter" thing because he was just. that. terrified of being gay/bi himself that he couldn't even deal with the idea that other people might be gay?
