It’s also why we think the US is an advanced country, and that’s pretty close for most Americans. I would be very surprised if nobody in your extended family was less religious/heterosexual/happy/in love with their partner than you realize. Every piece of information you receive from someone else is tainted by their perspective and intent in sharing it, including the actions you see them perform.

You are likely right but I also wouldnt put a lot of confidence in my assessment of how others feel, especially generalizing it over time.

If someone tried to convince me my mother was a secret Nazi though they'd need some strong proof for me to consider it.
