Janel Comeau: my elderly Egyptian Uber driver happily informed me that he “supports the gays now” because he lives with a lesbian couple and “the husband lesbian is a better husband than I was”, happy pride everyone

That’s me, the husband lesbian

perfect, this tracks with Tekla being the maximum upper limit for being a waifu physics can permit:)

Bring forth the age of husbandos! Everyone should enjoy waifu energy!

I'm always saying this about you

Excellent musical theatre has been written on weaker premises than this

Yes

The Three's Company reboot we really need.

What a crazy scenario: a lesbian couple with an old Egyptian dude.

It's like the plot for a sitcom. What crazy shenanigans will they get up to this week?

Equal amounts canned laugh track and canned “audience” groans.

A heartfelt "Awwww" every time any party learns a life lesson that makes them a little more unconditionally loving and accepting.

Thinking about that…. Absofuckinglutely.

Give the elderly Egyptian cabbie a sufficiently catchy catchphrase and you will have all the crucial ingredients of a classic 1970s American sitcom. Except he will be the anti-Archie Bunker.

Edith was an ally:

that show could do extremely well these days.

Kate and Cait and Gamal

The elderly Egyptian walks ass-backward into a different progressive position every week. He's always right, he always gets there in a wacky fun way. Would watch.

ELDERLY EGYPTIAN ROOMMATE: who left their obelisk on the coffee table (canned laugh track).

Now I'm imagining an elderly Egyptian vampire roommate

شركة الثلاثة أيضًا

They fight crime!

Lol

Gouliélmos and Charis?

Would 100% watch this

We better get credits

I foresee a screenwriter submitting this shortly…

The new "Three's Company" reboot is looking great!

Beat me to it.

Thebes Company.

I was thinking I'd seen this before and was happy to see you're the person who posted it originally way back then and not a joke thief. A Pridemas miracle

oh really? yay!

I checked myself

I unironically love this! 🤣

Husband lesbian…….

You may be wondering how I got here

I love this! I was on a zoom call last week and one participant introduced herself as “Janet, 83 years young, a she/her and proud mother in law to my daughter’s wife” and once I figured out that math, it made me so happy. Allyship!

That is absolutely darling!

Right?? I wanted to hug her through the screen. Everyone deserves a mother in law like Janet. 🌈

My S. Asian Am parents came around after I had gay roommates in college. They began thinking about how they would feel if it was their child who was denied equal rights & their beliefs changed. When a friend’s son came out later, my Mom actively called out others on any bigoted remarks.

if the handle husband_lesbian wasn’t taken before it sure is now lmao

Husbian?

it’s still open …!

The best cab interaction I've ever had was in Chicago with a Nigerian guy who spoke English well but didn't get colloquialisms. He said we'd have to take a detour because a road was closed for the "parade of proud homosexuals."

Husbian.

Beat me to it.

Give me seven seasons of this as a half-hour sitcom, please. (Preferably not a laugh track sitcom one, but something out of the Parks & Rec/The Good Place.)

Awwwww

Unironically #blessed

This brought a tear to my eye 🥲
