Does this mean we've already had our first first gentleman and didn't know it?
I feel a little cheated.

Well, since you would know all about that … I mean I have heard many people say … troubling things … not that there is anything wrong with that 🤣

If my family "bombarded" me with any of their garbage, my first reaction would simply be to say "fuck off" in a moderately polite way, followed by a not-so-polite way. Why should family be given a pass to act like assholes? Mine knows better, though to be fair I only have very occasional contact with almost all of them (and I'm not on social media to see their crap.)

The better approach is quite simply to troll them. "Well, Obama does have a nice ass. I wouldn't mind getting some." Or maybe "Well, Aunt June, you kinda look more like a man than Michelle does, to be honest". Or just don't respond. That's if you actually don't want to hear their lunacy.

Of course I know some people who simply like to argue with their relatives, even though there's no way either side will convince the other. Not that different from some forums in that way :) Just an outlet a guess.

Obama didn't want to be too greedy. He was already the first Black President, first Muslim President, and the first foreign born President, so being the first openly gay President also seemed to be too much.

Get real passive aggressive with it. "Well Aunt June, at least Michelle waxes her mustache, and does trim her sideburns, so what's your excuse?"
