My grandmother was terrified of motorcycles. As a very young child, she had witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident in which the rider was beheaded. It traumatized her for life.

I used to visit her in a Nursing Home, and always left my helmet at the nursing station so that Nana never knew that I was a biker. This was 50 years ago, and I still ride.

It’s all about kindness and respect. Why upset a dear elderly relative with news that would be traumatizing? That’s just selfish. Why would Dear Old Abuela need to know her granddaughter’s sexual preference?

I agree with Gloria.

That's crazy. I can see why she was traumatized.
