It could easily be seen as you just rocking the boat for the sake of being an in-your-face homo, so if your priority is peace, I think it's clear you should let it be.<br><br>If there's one sibling you're more comfortable discussing it with, maybe your oldest sister who said for everyone to bring a date, you could ask her directly whether she thinks you bringing a male date would upset anyone or send the light-hearted winky message privately, so it's less likely to be perceived as you just grabbing for attention or sympathy.<br><br>...might she have meant "date" to imply opposite sex by default according to her paradigm...?Original Mohomiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12887614143300677214noreply@blogger.com
